I know some of you like to take on project canoes once in awhile. I stumbled upon this one on FB Marketplace.

If those sleek lines are tempting you it can be yours for $50.

Ahh, FB marketplace. Never know what you might find on there. That's how I got my Bell Northstar for $70.

My current fishing boat is a '63 alumacraft semi-v that I found on FB Marketplace for $20.

What exactly would the project be? Dog bath? Flower garden? Coffin?

This looks like my first canoe, plastic Coleman paid $100 for it in 1999. I actually took it into the BWCA once, up to Lake Two. Then it lived in our pond for 10 years. We left it with the house when we sold it. On the bright side, it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.

If seller & canoe are near you, and you have small children, or grandchildren; off 25 bucks for it.

If they take it; pull out the seats,and tubing.............load it with sand/instant sandbox or load it with potting soil/instant flower bed. Seriously..................
