I am the second owner of this canoe and have used it over 20 years for pleasure paddling with my wife and sons on smooth water rivers, for extended BWCA and Quetico trips with my usual group of guys, and once for an emergency evacuation of a neighbor in a flood. Stored indoors in winter, outdoors (covered) near the water during paddling season. By 2018, there were a handful of spots on the hull where fabric was showing and I had a knowledgeable guy in Duluth, MN put a new gel coat on the entire hull. It isn't a perfect job but it did the trick and the hull has plenty of years left in her. The canoe is at my office in Cloquet, Minnesota. Price: $775 Canoe Specs: Model: Sawyer Cruiser Layup: Lightweight Kevlar Length: 17' 9" Beam: 33" Center Depth: 13" Stated Capacity: 4 persons or 643 lbs.; 715 lbs persons and gear Hull ID No.: SAW12173M821 Seats: tractor, sliding front, adjustable rear footbrace, portage yoke and pad Rear sticker says "Built with Kevlar 49 Aramid" Cool 1970s style side stickers Minnesota registration current through 2020 (That's me occupying the stern in the 3rd picture, probably on Cherokee Lake, BWCA) |

Banksiana: "If your other buyers fall through, drop me a line. I live near Ely but willing to travel and social distance for a Sawyer Cruiser. Sweet paddling boat." Will do, thanks for your interest. |

Thank you BWCA.com for providing a place for canoeists to gather and for the collegial atmosphere here. It’s as if I had run into you gents at one end of a portage trail and we were getting to know each other, and liking it. |

If your goal is a dry ride on days like that then the best place would be on shore waiting it out. A day or two waiting out a big wind isn’t the worst thing, either, especially if you can find a place out of the wind, get along well with your mates, and locate the cigars and flask hidden deep in your Duluth Pack for moments just like that. |

lung: "Hi David, my good friend Harrison is very interested in buying your boat. He doesn't have an account on here, but I sent him the photos and description. Please email him at Harrisonbryc7@gmail.com. Thanks!" Thanks, I was in touch with Harrison this afternoon and he’s very interested. I was going to post on CL but by far my preference was to sell it to a paddler and I’m glad to see the response here. pswith5, I’ll let you know if the first buyer falls through. |
