Mad River Freedom Tandem $600

Post by Smurfwarrior »

Made by Mad River Canoe Company, Model- Freedom
Color- Teal

16" Tandem canoe in great shape, no big scrapes only wear from the few times its been paddled. Its been in storage for a few years, which is good news for you as brand new Royalex is more prone to scratching and aging a hull for a few years prior to heavy use gives the Royalex time to fully cure resulting in a stiffer and more scratch/damage proof boat. The gunwales are wood, and are functional but the outside edge (outwales) show some age from being outside. I'm including four pieces of custom made White Ash to replace the outwales if you wish to do so in the future. It would look like almost a brand new canoe with this done, or paddle it as it until you get the need for a little project. I'm including two brand new Gaia end floats that are mounted in the ends to provide flotation in the event of it tipping. Here's a great opportunity to get an awesome canoe for a good deal!

Here is how the manufacturer describes the canoe-

The Royalex Freedom is a versatile tandem design offering outstanding river-running performance. Inspired by the Explorer, the Freedom has the generous cargo capacity necessary for whitewater trips along with more rocker for increased maneuverability and dryness important to river paddlers. The seats are also positioned closer to the center than in the Explorer. This lively canoe is fun to paddle in whitewater, yet shows surprising speed in flat water.
