The canoe I'd never buy thread

I emailed the guy for more info. haHa $150 for a canoe with a hole in the bottom and nobody's touched it in 2 years, but it could be a kevlar with a small hole, you never know.
 
My first canoe was a Coleman I bought it around 1978 it was advertised as a white water canoe. I bought it to do the Allagash I paid $225 dollars for it and sold it for $200 20 years later and replace it with a OT Tripper which was my first real white water canoe. I had a lot of fun with it but never did white water it was a dog in the water. I would never buy another one of them. I see people try to get more for them or Pelicans now than OT Trippers and stuff
 
My son and his friend grew up paddling Colemans and he loves them. I found a $75 17' Ram for him several years ago and you'd think I bought him a Kevlar.
 
The truly sad part is that I thought hmmmmmm about that y stern. I do have my limits though and a Coleman is where I draw the line. I have even put some thought into retrieving the cut in half Bell Alaskan that we paddle past every year.
 
Yes, they do and I have an Old Coleman Cooler I will be restoring this winter. As for planters, I'm good wo/them
