Grumman 129

Advice
#1

Forty-five years ago I spent many hours paddling Grumman canoes as a sea scout. Now, at the age of 62 I am about to retire and really want to get back on the water in a solo canoe.



I see that Grumman is manufacturing a 12’ 9’ solo called the 129. I’d really appreciate any information regarding this canoe. Thanks in advance.

Look under “grumman 129” solo in subject line. He and his partner liked it a lot after paddling it a couple hours. It has a keel … so it tracks fairly well and is a solid little boat with little structural flex apparently. About $700 bucks.

Found it. Sounds good. Thanks.



I talked with the folks at Grumman today and they say that the seat can be moved (rebolted) fore and aft to change the trim on the 129.
