I do not like selling canoes, and before I put this rack queen up on the local paddling club boards or Craigslist maybe someone here needs a big volume tandem gear hauler.
The Freedom 17 is the same canoe as the Revelation 17, the name it carried from 1992 to 2004. Scroll down to Freedom 17 in the archived catalog for the specs.

This one has an additional thwart behind the bow seat, I do not remember if it came that way or I added it. The hull bottom is in very good condition, just beginning to show some stem scratches and has not yet needing skid plates installed.

It is a voluminous RX canoe. 17 feet long, 36 inches wide at the midships sheerline, 34 at the waterline and 15 inches deep. This one has IQ II gunwales, which are as structurally stiff and complex cross sectioned stout a gunwale system as conceivable.
I weighed Freedom 17 on the hanging scale. Dead on 80 lbs floating midair, balanced on a cam strap at the yoke location.

Minimal McCrea outfitting excess, although it does have minicel knee bumpers below the inwales at both seats, a Wenonah adjustable foot brace in the stern and webbing loop tie downs at the ends of most machine screws.

And, ya know, thwart bungees, deck bungees for painter lines and four Drings, two small ones towards the stems, two large ones in the middle. And attachments points for Surf to Summit back bands at each seat.

For a Canoe Tripping user I will throw in a few extras. A side motor mount, the canoe was motor registered in Maryland in 2016 and has the necessary paperwork to reregister elsewhere.

And a Canoe Tripper bonus offer, a zippered IQ system tandem belly cover with arched stays, properly sized to fit that hull.

The zip open feature is really nice for accessing packs and gear. Just unzip it to load or unload and zip it back up.

1000 bucks for the whole kit and caboodle to someone here who will use it.
