Unreal find Blue hole rare model
Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:29 am
I have a canoe the likes I have never seen. I could only find one picture of the same model online.
Its a Blue Hole model MGB. The serial number is honest to God 0005. It has Mahogany gunnels, deck plates, thwarts, etc. Its 17' (I think, my tape measure ran out at 16').
It has been paddled 4 times, hung indoors for the last 26 years, and purchased from the Blue Hole factory new (not by me, but the previous owner).
Its as near mint as a canoe could be. I will almost certainly put it up for sale soon. Honestly I cant bear the thought of putting a scratch on this thing.
Oh, the wood work was done by Merrimack canoes, and is unreal. Obvious Merrimack seats.
Any thoughts as to value? I would love a collector or museum to have this boat
I have good pictures, but dont know how to insert them here.
