How many new canoes have you bought lately?

[Cheeks]

With all the new designs and the increased attention canoeing has been getting, how many new canoes have you bought in the last two years? Say, from mid 2010 when the first L'Edges started getting shipped? For this we aren't talking about used, or almost new, but boats manufactured and sold in the last two years. They can be older designs, they just have to be bought new.

I pulled the trigger on a Viper 11. Now I need a plastic creeker. God forbid I get into playboating, I'll go broke...

I ordered my L'edge just about a year ago. It is my second boat and my first new boat.

Alas, I had no noble intentions of supporting the industry. I just really wanted a plastic canoe. (The previous boat, an Outrage, had been on life support for a long time before exploding spectacularly).

I bought 2 new boats in the last year, although one was a fishing kayak (Jackson Coosa).

I sold it after a few months though and bought a factory fresh Odyssey 14 from Mohawk. Picked it up myself in Chattanooga.

Since then I have purchased (used) a OT Appalachian & Mohawk Probe 12.

My path to WW canoeing started with a love for fly fishing.

I bought a second Esquif Prelude in early 2011, this one for my wife. Still counts though if you look at it as a purchase by a household. Seems like we're standardzing on the Prelude. And this is in a household that has 12 canoes (5 tandems, 7 solos). Eight of these were bought new over the years and this doesn't count the boats I bought new and then sold. I'd say we're pretty supportive of the industry. And it of us.

Since mid 2010

New Canoe X 1
Built Canoe X 1
New Kayak X 2 (for my wife)

Would love to buy a new plastic canoe but alas my wife's Kayak buying is getting in the way. Now my daughter is campaigning for a boat too. Maybe I can talk her into a canoe.

I bought an ME to get my daughter out.

Last November I bought a L'edge and Option almost in the same week.

I'll likely try and get my hands on a blowmolded canoe over the summer.

[TNbound]

Just one, my Option.

In the future I would like to purchase a new long boat. Maybe a viper 12 or something from Millbrook.

[Bob Wiggins]

I havent bought any new boats (emphasis on bought). I got a used ion, and ended up with the maxim, but i havent bought any new ones.

The last new canoe I bought was a Mohawk Probe-14 in 2004. I did buy a Jackson Villain S last year, which was my first new kayak since 2000.

Bought my first OC1 (Esquif Raven) used in August of last year, but I plan on purchasing a brand new L'Edge within a few months! I like the smell of "new".
