PVnRT: "Meeting in Spring Green is doable. How can I contact you regarding details and logistics?"


Sorry my email address was hidden. If the boat is still available August 1st we can set up a meeting in Spring Green. I'd rather avoid traveling with my canoe truck if I can.

Thanks for letting me know. The Magic would have been wonderful, but I'm actually hoping to find a used Phoenix in IXP or Blackgold Wildfire so that I can add river tripping to my hobbies.

Well good luck in your search. I like the thicker clear gel coat on the older Bells since they can take a ton of abrasion and normal bumping around. I remember Bell ads saying Black/Gold was fine for mild whitewater but I sure agree that there's an appeal to a bulletproof boat like an IXP Phoenix. In my experience the Wildfire is the more playful/fun boat while the Phoenix feels bigger and safer. Cheers

I DO NOT yet have a storage problem, but unable to drive from the Twin Cities to your place in SW MI. If you are planning a trip up to the BWCA with the canoe any time soon, I gladly will meet you on your way and purchase.

Much as I'd like the boat to go to someone with a technical background, I have no plans to go to your area anytime soon. I might be going to the Spring Green, WI area within the next month or so.
