Frontier Canoe

Advice
#1

Has anyone heard of Frontier Canoes? There is one for sale in the Tampa area, and I am just trying to get some further info. The canoe is fiberglass, and 14’ long.



Thanks,

Is there a reason you want a 14’ boat
in a flatwater state? Hold out for a foot or two longer.

#3

Why 14’…
I currently own a 16’ Grumman ABS (not aluminum) and used to have a Mohawk 16’ fiberglass. While I really like both boats, cartopping has become a bit of a chore. That much weight stretched out over 16 feet is not the easiest to carry anymore. If I could afford a 16’ kevlar it would be different.

You have a point, I’ve spent a lot on
lighter canoes in my late advancing middle age. I googled quite a bit on versions of “frontier canoes” and didn’t come up with anything. Hope someone has heard of them and knows something about them.

from my undersanding from seeing them here in Canada are inexpensive, fibreglass chopper gun layup canoes. Quite wide, sometimes "Y" stern, sometimes not. Could be a totally different canoe though. Hope this helps.

I am a little late on this very old post. I am aware of them. Frontier canoes are out of Cheyenne Wyoming. They have been making canoes since the late 70s or early 80s. I do know they were still making some boats around 2010. The molds and plugs are currently for sale on Ebay. They looked like pretty high quality boats from the photos I saw.
