Not my boat (millbrook?)

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.

ME? I can't quite tell. Doesn't quite look long enough.

If it hasn't disappeared by Monday I might have to go take a look at it. Close and cheap:)

Ad says it's a kayak, and you need oars. Guess it can't be a canoe...

The post reads to me like this person acquired (legitimately?) a boat he/she has absolutely no knowledge about, other than it is a boat. :roll:

Strikes me as suspicious.

Phew...14hr driving round trip to get the boat yesterday. But it was all worth it. Wood is fair but can be refinished. Otherwise, it a barely scratched time capsule.

You know, one of these days it would be fun to have a "Millbrook Armada" and see how many of John's (Berry and Kaz!) boats we can get together. Might be fun to do it around North Creek (run the Hudson from North Creek to the Glen, stopping off in Riparius half way for lunch, right where many of the boats were made!)

Thank you for taking the time to post the images. Enjoy that MJM!

I just looked for more info on the MJM in the boats archives and there is nothing there. Now might be a good time to add it to the list with Longboatin's good pics.

Glad to oblige. I would definitly be down for a Millbrook armada. that would be very cool. Would certainly warrant some beatin the bushes when organizing. It seem crazy but around here there are still glass only guys who get mad when I so much as mention plastic boats lol. I imagine NY much the same.
I dont know really anything about JBs MJM model. Ed at TMO had one and always praise it, and rue the day he get rid of. That how I was introduce to the boat. The white one I got in Syracuse, it was beat up, but with a wood overhaul was good to go. The red boat tho is definitely the niceset boat I have ever bought.
