    Hemlock Eagle- Litetech

    Hey, I'm on the fence about this one. I am continuing to thin my fleet and am entertaining the idea of letting my Eagle go. I figured I would post this on the forum to see if anyone is interested. This was the first Litetech Eagle Dave and his team built back in 18/19. It was a prototype. They...

    Penn Yan Kingfisher

    I need to thin the herd and this is next on the list. The Kingfisher has incredible lines. It looks fantastic and is very fun in the water. Great condition. There are a few patches as shown. It was stored in a shed most of it's life. Original seats and oars are included with the sale. I use a...

    Chestnut Pal/Moonlight

    Early Chestnut Pal. This may be a Moonlight. 34 inch beam. Good/usable condition. I paddle this daily. A recanvas is a good idea, but it's watertight as is. There are typical scratches and tear repairs. I repaint this every other spring. This is not a museum piece. It's a workhorse and has been...

    Chestnut Canoe swag

    18 foot. Spec sheet says 90 pounds, but this has the added " Close rib" option which brings it to 110. Just at my carry limit. Beam is 36. I will be using my 2.5hp mercury. I think this will be the best of both worlds. The transom is above the waterline. I should be able to motor out, set camp...

    Wood canvas canoe gathering?

    I'm planning on attending WCHA assembly this year. I normally have my entire ADK summer planned out and booked by now, but gas prices have put a hold on this for sure. I am 4 hours from the high peaks. Not bad at 2 bucks a gallon. Pushing 5 is too painful to bear.

    Who makes truly custom paddles?

    Is Caleb still active? I have two of his paddles and love them. Bruce Smith makes custom paddled Fishell paddles will customize as well.

    My quest for the best custom made ottertail paddle in the world

    I just pulled the trigger on another Bruce Smith paddle. A beautiful Birdseye Maple Ottertail. I could not resist. Mostly because of this thread. Should have stayed away.

    Source for wool coats on the cheap

    Ebay is a gold mine. I am a bit obsessed with wool and sourced most of it on Ebay. I just won an auction for a Dehen wool chore coat.

    New paddle disappointment

    What model S&T? I have three. Two Northwoods and one Racine. They are my go to. I was at Raquette River Outfitters a while back and picked up S&T Penobscot and could not belive how heavy and bulky it was compared to my three. I definitely would not have been able to use it.
