I know your grand children would love a ride in that canoe.
Mine do.

Eric,
Such talk.
But keep me posted if you do decide to sell.

You know, sometime after you sell it, the kids will come back and say, "Dad, where's that old Seliga? I'd love to go canoeing with it."
Or some variation on the theme...

I can't help thinking of the elderly lady who spent much time circling our car-with-canoe-on-top, then found us in a nearby restaurant because she needed to tell someone (who might understand) how much she missed her Old Town canoe.
Figured out a while back that canoes are "easy keepers" compared to horses. They don't need regular exercise. They can sit in the barn, and I can smile, knowing they are there... and not feel guilty about it.
As long as you are "torn" in this decision, maybe you should wait. They aren't building any more Seligas...

I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and remove this problem from your garage if you are ready.
I hate to see another person agonize over a decision and suffer so greatly and for so long ...and for that reason, I am willing to sacrifice myself.
Let me know if you are ready to let the old girl go.

Mike, if you are serious, there is a Seliga on the MPLS c-list.

At the risk of giving away the depth of my affliction...I had already noticed that canoe when it popped up a couple days ago. It looks like it was nicely restored.
If someone gave me one of Joe's canoes I'd find a home for it...but it would need to come at a much better price than that one is listed for... I'd have to unload two or three of my good ones to buy that....

YMCA Camp Widgiwagan celebrates their 90 year anniversary July 12-14 2019. The B.N. Morris canoe that Joe Seliga used as a form for building his canoes is being restored for this event. A Seliga canoe might find a new home through this celebration. https://ymcamn.org/camp_widjiwagan_news__events/2018/10/11/13676/widjis_90th_reunion

Thanks for the lead! Getting me - or the canoe there - would be difficult.....

Canoe-events usually have a bulletin board with pictures and descriptions of canoes that are for sale, but are not physically present. I'm not sure this will be true of the event this year at Widji, but will be surprised if they don't have a listing somewhere of canoes for sale-- especially Seliga canoes. I'll see what I can find out and will get back to you.
I would encourage you to list it in the classifieds at http://www.wcha.org/classifieds and the pricing perspectives at http://forums.wcha.org/index.php?threads/57/ may help. Good luck,
