Hey everyone,
New to the forum so thanks for the help in advance. Depending on how this goes I may become a more active member. I have had a canoe offered to me by a long time mentor. It is an Old Town Octa, 16 foot, from 1950. He had intended a full restoration but with advancing age he is unable to complete it. He has had this canoe for 15 years stored safely. He takes it out a couple of times a year and tell me it is usable and has used it with his wife many time. I have attached the documents which I know adds to the value. I have yet to see the boat and want to be prepared to say yes if all looks good. I've been told the wood is all in good condition but the canvas sould use replacing.
He is asking $300
