Make me an offer, interesting offers encouraged.

When I was a kid, my dad and I built this together. It was the first thing we built together. He hoped we would use it together, dad was a big hunter so it was painted a green camo color. I never really developed an interest in hunting like my brother so the boat ended up in Ohio with him for the past 30 years.

 

A few years ago after my dad's passing, the boat made its way back to me. It's just been sitting in a corner of my yard and I'd like to have someone enjoy it with their kid(s).

 

So if you have a kid or two and think you'll use it, make me an interesting offer. Having dad's dream fulfilled is my primary interest.

 

Note: It always had oars here in NY so it was never registered here. Any form of motor in NY will require registering it as homemade.

How long is it? Flat bottom? I'm actually looking to build a rustic bookshelf from a canoe or boat.

Slightly curved, I think the bottom is about 8' since we made it from a couple sheets of marine plywood. Overall length is probably about 8 1/2 feet with bow and stern angle overhang.

Ok. Thanks. That is what I thought. A little too tall for what I was looking for.

Nobody wants a free boat? Nobody has a pond somewhere with kids or grandkids?

Would make a great little pond boat! The daughter and I always just cast or throw a bobber from the grass and wait...great memories could be made from this little guy
