Default Canoe advice, please

wrote in message
oups.com...
On the way home from my bike ride today, a neighbor has his barely-
used We No Nah Adirondak canoe sitting in the front yard with a for
sale sign on it.


Buy it ASAP.

I don't have an Adirondak (Solo+, Tim, and we need to get out on the big Q
before the season closes - I have a couple of free days coming up), but I
love WeNoNah and that model is an excellent hull for tandem and solo use. I
have been watching for used WeNoNah tandem boats for a couple of years.
Check their web site for current retail before buying to make sure you're
getting a good used price. Look through the hull with a strong backlight to
look for weak spots where it's been stressed, look for rotting wooden parts,
etc.
