Yeah, its tempting to bring home all the strays and no doubt most of us have been guilty of it at one time or another. Having said that, keep running them all down since there are gems out there that are almost always advertised vaguely - went this morning to look at a 'cedarstrip canoe'. Great price, turned out to be a lovely 15' chestnut with a coat of fiberglass all over it and pressed cane seats and some other mods, so there it stayed. It could just as easily have been a very desirable rare antique, so i dont want you to think I am negative or discouraging you; sometimes you just have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince....
