Insurance value

[JClearwater]

What is a complete Old Town sail rig worth for insurance purposes? Leeboards, rudder, mast, spars, sail and hardware. Also a pair of leathered oars and oar locks. Assuming it's ready to use. Ballpark dollar figure? Not including the canoe - I can figure that part.

Thanks,
Jim C.

Old Town doesn't sell these any more so the exact replacement value is not clear. The price list at http://skywoodscanoes.com/canoes/price list.htm#Sail Rig shows "Sail Rig Custom designed $1200-$2500" and http://www.shawandtenney.com/ lists a pair of oars with sewn on leathers for about $350 plus $229 for polished oarlocks. I would guess that about $3000 could get you a reasonable new replacement but you could probably find all of this used for about $500 on eBay if you are not in a hurry. Please reply here if you get some better numbers or suggestions.

The unique "1904 Old Town" discussed in the thread at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?t=3695 is currently at $305 on eBay so you may be able to get a bit more since yours has a sailing rig. I thought that you offered a similar canoe in the thread at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?t=3680 for $7500.
