I moved to NC after I did the repairs and the boat has been stored in my sons garage since 2018. Anyways I think my tripping days may be over so I will probably put the boat up for sale unless my son thinks we should hang on to it. I have no clue on a value for this boat it might be a 2008. . Help please. ~JOE~ Edit: my son checked the year it is an 05. I bought it in 06 and tripped each year till I moved so I used it on 12 Quetico trips if I went every year. May have skipped a year , can’t remember. |

In good condition in Minnesota, I'd guess between $1400 and $1800. Pristine, maybe over 2K. But you describe some damage...not sure how visible it is or how it shows without some photos. If it has very visible patching/reinforcement, that's definitely a negative. In North Carolina? I suspect the market to be significantly lower than MN/WI, perhaps by 20-30%. All guesswork. Photos would help, and perhaps someone else who knows more will chime in. |

I’m going to list it for sale in the Chicago marketplace. I guess for $1000. I have 2 cheap paddles, 2 crazy creek seat backs and one GCI seat back that will come with it. If anyone wants it before I list it just let me know otherwise watch for it on Marketplace and craigslist. My son just took pictures so I will post those in the add. ~JOE~ |

cyclones30: "Nice clean basic boat w/ good seats. It's a sellers market right now, I'd list it for more than $1000 and have that in your mind as the lowest you'd go. But if you're not in a pinch to sell it, I'd list for $1300 and see what happens. " I was going to say $1400 but agree with the sentiment. It's a sellers market for sure. They can't keep new canoes in stock, most canoe retailers increased their prices by $200-500 this year for new. We are in a weird market right now where people are selling their used canoes for sometimes more than they paid when they bought them years ago or even in a few cases more than they paid when they bought it new years ago. I just bought a brand new canoe in February and I believe it's already $500 more if you can even find it to buy it. CRAZY! If you are not in a hurry you could list $1700-1800 I wouldn't be surprised if it sold at that price. You can always sell it lower later. A $1000 you will sell quick...if you are doing a person a favor...great...if you ae just randomly selling it they might be buying it and flipping it anyway. T |

If it's not been sitting out in the sun in its life that's a big plus. But a kelvar tandem from a well known brand in ok to good condition is easily over $1000, and maybe much more in today's market |
