WANTED TRADE: Acrobat for playboat

Post by amollohan99 »

Hola c-boats! long time no C! After taking a hiatis from boating to finish B-school and find a job, I have both and finally got back on the water. Cracked my weld on my playboat and need another.

RFP!!!

Acrobat medium cut (some of you know this boat...B.O.C.) good condition for ????? playboat (outfitting optional)

Looking for something that paddles better than the EZG, more play capabilities but with similar stability. All serious offers considered.

Also have an old glass 18.5' Wenonah WWII I fixed up a couple of years ago. New gunnels and straight as an arrow but evidence of a serious wrap that was repaired professionally. Make offers!!!

I've never been in a squirt boat (acrobat is a cquirt boat right?) but ive dreamt of it. I have a LL pop with solid outfitting, bulkhead, lap strap, solid hip pads and a backband. Solid C1 playboat I'm 5'10" and ~160. I would consider a trade of some sort for the acrobat. I'm in Western NC for awhile right now. Let me know what ya think

One of these, maybe?

Decided I prefer a longer boat and the spinny little playboat thing isn't my cup of tea.

Outfitting needs a little work. Heavy layup. Definately unique.

I'd happily trade my Space Cadet C1 for either of your boats. If I didn't live at the other end of the country.

Though if you guys have any ideas on logistics for a trade, I'm open to idea. I guess ALF is still a ways off...

I have friends in VT and NH. I cant get up there for several weeks, but I think I could be into a spacecadet if this other trade doesnt work out.
