Thanks for the heads up! I took a long look at that one, and researched the model, but decided not to inquire about it.

Just added a whole bunch more to the list.

Thanks!

The Raleigh and Jax boats were outside my search radius, but I've emailed about them

Still looking! Something 16-17', with @ 2" rocker, Royalex, would be ideal.

I have a cheap XL-15, newly outfitted (new pedestals, wooden thwarts, bag lacing)...if you want it...

I am in WV, traveling through NC next week.

Very tempting! But I'm looking for less a purpose built WW boat than a friends/family/fishing/camping tandem boat that can handle up to mild class III when called upon. Rivers like the Broad, Chattahoochee, Ocmulgee, French Broad, Flint, Little TN, etc. I want the cargo capability plus the tracking of a longer, less rockered boat than the XL-15...but still tempting.

Cool. Yeah, this one is outfitted for whitewater, I have been taking it down the Lower Yough and New. Good luck!

I have a Blue Hole OCA in Excelent condition. I bought it for a scout troop, and they have first dibs, but if they dont get it I will sell it to you for $550, which is what I paid for It.

By the way, I am in Gainesville. PM me if you want to see it.

Very nice OCA, but I'm still looking! Thanks Chris

Rob:

Consider a new Arkota from Two Brothers:

http://www.twobrotherscanoe.com/products.html

They're over in Garfield, AR, but I'm sure that some of the good folks at ACC could help with transportation.

I have two of the Arkotas, and have found no better tandem canoe for moving water/ light whitewater use. Set up correctly, they also work well for solo work.

Solo on the Middle river in Iowa

Tandem on Jack's Fork, MO

At a brand new price of $900, these are well worth the dollars, and "The Brothers" will set the boat up the way you want.

Regards,

al

Al,
Actually it is Rob that is looking, but that is a sharp looking boat that I have never heard of. Thanks for the link. Great price too.
