This is the famous G-17 (river model) made by Grumman aircraft company using the highest quality aircraft grade aluminum and hand riveted. If you are tired of recreational equipment with moving parts that make noise, need maintenance and fuel--buy a canoe. It's always ready, it's impervious to the weather, and when you are ready to go, just load it up. You can float down the river is total silence or explore secret nooks in your favorite lake. This canoe is still made today, but of lighter metal, and sells for $1,300. Load rated for 805lbs. and has floatation in the bow & stern compartments (won't sink). She has some dents from the many river trips she has made, but no patches or leaks. I'll throw in the car-top roof racks too and a paddle or two. Please call 259-0253 with any questions.
