Mostly-restored 1908 17' Old Town HW ($500)

[paddler123]

I have a mostly-restored 1908 17' closed-gunwale Old Town HW (CS grade) for sale - life got in the way of finishing it unfortunately. It has been stripped, some ribs and planks replaced, varnished, canvassed, seats re-caned, and partially painted. Still needs to finish the painting, top and side rails, and reattach the seats and stembands. Located in Greenfield, MA.

Someone at the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association might be interested. Good luck with it.

That's a very good price, I think, for a mostly restored 1908 Old Town.

I spent a good amount of time in and around Greenfield 30-40 years ago, the (former?) HoJo of which was a meeting place for the Berkshire and Connecticut AMC whitewater clubs. I also always enjoyed a radio station there that played quirky stuff like oldies that were the flip sides or cover bands of big hits.

I'll agree, that seems like a very good price. If it weren't for the fact that I'd have 1/2 that in gas just picking it up (& I've got too many irons in the fire already), I'd probably grab it. Hopefully you'll find someone to finish the restoration.
