Best Way To Sell a Cedarwood?

[Paddlebert]

I'm located in southern Minnesota and need advice on selling an almost new Cedarwood that I've had hanging in the garage for many years.

There must be folks who would like to own and cherish it as I have--so how do I find them?

I'm getting to be 80 years old and have kept it just for the joy of owning it--but I have finally decided I need to pass it on.

I posted here last year trying to get info and we decided it must be a Prospector.

Your canoe is in extremely nice condition. Most of the Cedarwoods I have encountered have been in much worse condition. What is interesting (to me) is to see how rounded the hull on yours is. These canoes have a reputation for (as do some later Chestnuts) of being very tender under paddle. Here we can see why. Until now, I had thought the Cedarwoods (and later Chestnuts) had somehow relaxed over time causing that tender hull. But here we can see that a pristine boat that has obviously been well cared for displays that characteristic. Interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

The fastest way to find a good new home for a boat like yours is usually to list it at https://www.woodencanoe.org/classifieds in the WCHA classifieds. The page at https://www.woodencanoe.org/ad-instructions has the instructions. Good luck with the sale,

Or on FB Market Place - but note that not much is selling these days so be prepared for it to take a while.
And of course price is always part of the equation.

Note - I have 2 I'm planning to pass on but will wait for spring, especially with winter coming back for the next couple weeks. (I'm in MPLS)
