Canoe for sale or trade.

I was just in one less than two weeks ago, no internal anything. Just a
fiberglass shell with a renforcement aluminum bar down the middle (Which was
broke in this particular canoe giving the feeling the thing was going to
bend in half any second).

Okay. Now I have a reason to never buy a fiberglass boat. Previously
it was just a general distaste for them for no reason I could find.

You would be very hard pressed to find any fiberglass canoe that did not
have integral flotation chambers or flotation devices built in. I don't
think I've ever seen one and I've seen many fiberglass canoes.

Only fiberglass ones I've been in were just a shell with aluminum
reinforcements -- no flotation aides or chambers at all.

Including my dad's current canoe.

We take my kids out in it a couple times a year, but by the end of the day
they will be pretty freaked out about it flipping over because it rocks so
much whereas the 'big boat' doesn't.
