The good boat deal thread

J Watrous said:
Starting in mid-July 2026, does anyone want to long-term (12 months +) borrow an 18’ cedar strip canoe, four handmade paddles, two LiFePO4 batteries, a 55lb electric motor, and a set of Yakima bars and canoe holder? Oh, and matching net:

Canoe is based on Canadian sea-going canoes and handles Puget Sound chop, wake, and even white caps with ease. Safe working capacity is a little over 1600lbs, canoe itself weighs about 65lbs. Bow seat is on adjustable rails. Great for salmon/searun fishing, crabbing, and camping. Watertight compartments fore and aft keep your gear dry and keep the boat afloat even if swamped. Price would be you take care good care of it and maybe send occasional photos of use.

Could throw in long-term borrowing of a matching 12’ 6-rod rod vault to sweeten the deal. Rod vault holds 6 single-hand rods of any length and reel size, or four spey rods and reels. Photos are old because it’s dark and I haven’t intentionally taken photos of it since I put it on there.

I was about to reply Absolutely Yes! Then realized I already have a boat. This should probably go to someone who needs a boat and or has storage for two boats.

But if you don't get any takers (ha!) I'll definitely make it work!

I’ll keep you posted! I’d rather it get some use than hang out in self-storage.
 
That is a big man holding a big net!
I'm assuming you're doing a sabbatical in Africa.. : )
I've had the pleasure of seeing the woodworking firsthand. Pretty special.

Good Morning, my name is Ron and I am new to the site. I am also new to drift boating, however, I have dabbled with fly fishing for quite some time. I am rebuilding an old McKenzie river style boat and am looking for a source on rivers in the PNW, where to launch, and pull out and just general float information on outing. and advice or directions would be appreciated. thanks in advance

Catchercraft 9’ pontoon boat. Maxon pontoons and powder coated galvanized steel tube frame. Comes with 8ft Cataract oars and Minnkota 40lb thrust trolling motor. Also a Garmin Striker 4 fish finder with transducer, brand new AGM battery in battery box with motor and depth finder connection plugs. I built a PWM speed control for the motor.Also included is a Leelock anchor system, two anchors, a Scotty two rod (fly rod) holder for carrying extra rods, two zip-up storage bags and a wheeled board I use if the boat has to be wheeled to the water.This boat frame is designed so the seat sits down instead of on top of the pontoons. This makes kicking around a lake much easier for short legged people like me. The steel frame is heavy, but the boat is still easily loaded into the back of a pickup. I’ll throw in the pulley system I used for storing in my garage too if you’re interested. I’d like $1300 for the works but will negotiate.
