Take a look at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?11596 for more information about this canoe. As addictions go, this one isn't too bad. (This is coming from the guy who bought two canoes a few months ago that he didn't have room to store.) Good luck,
I had 7 canoes a month ago...when I bought the 1951 Yankee (the only wood one at the time), my wife suggested I "thin the herd."
One of the canoes was one of the first Grumman Aircraft Bethpage canoes made - low 3 digit serial number. That went to a guy who had a vintage sailing rig.
Only have 4 canoes now - all Old Town, 2 wood.
Think I am going to pass on the one on eBay since another WCHA member is going for it.
