Any Boat, Gear, or outdoor related item you have for sale. If you use it on a paddling trip, or to prepare for one, it's fair game.

After corresponding with the owner, turns out it's a C-1 Viper.
A very early one at that. He thinks it's the 2nd or 3rd one ever built.
Some one should jump on this........

I bought it today- it's a great looking boat in great shape- I look forward to learning the 'edges'. I had to convince my wife that this is the perfect gift for Christmas.

Brendan, Glad you finally got a Viper. Especially after you turned down the one I got way back when. I'd say let's paddle this weekend, but I don't think I can make it that far north w/ the weather y'all are having.

I've got to thank T Grips for the post about the Viper- I had actually seen the craigslist posting for the "squirtboat" earlier, and called the number to just check it out, but not really interested in a true squirt boat- I got no response, but then when T-Grips posted that the boat was actually a Viper, I got very energized to track it down. The Boat now sits nice and snug in the crawl space while I look at 15 inches of new snow here in Richmond, VA- Happy Holidays!

I'm in blacksburg Va and have an old long squirt boat. We should make a trip out to the NRG in WV sometime.

Really cool, Brendan!
I'll give ya a shout and we'll take our Vipers down the James. Best boat to have out there when the river is above 9 feet!

And, when you come to New England, look me up and we can paddle some of the northern flow.
