Good morning all,
I am happy with my skin-on-frames and the only plastic boat that I've had a hankering for is a little OT Pack. However, everyone else is hankering for them, too, and I don't need another boat THAT bad. But this morning, I drove past a yard sale, and - lo and behold - drove away with a Pack for $350. It's got plenty of light scrapes on the hull, but its definitely not in terrible shape!
I'm glad I scored one, and at a price that makes me feel good about enjoying it and passing it on to whichever kid wants a boat to beat up, somewhere on down the line.

I have just sold my last canoe. It feels very peculiar. I am still in the life long habit of keeping an eye for the next one.
You did good with the Pack. I like to mention in passing that a friend of mine in Reno, Mark Adams built a Pack canoe out of cedar and canvas.
It is very cool.
