Wow. All yours?
Is that all? 
A few were sold; the vast majority are still in “my custody”.
2 boats I “truly” regret turning loose: an original Curtis Dragonfly & a Hemlock SRT/

Is that a Blackhawk Ariel?
In the first series of canoe porn, there is a Blackhawk Ariel (green in color) stacked in the middle of a wall rack, with a Blackhawk Starship (on top), and a Blackhawk Zephyr (on bottom).
BOB
The blue boat is an Ariel, which Pat C. now possesses. I possess the Dragonfly that Bob laments letting go. What, no pictures of the white MRC Courier you sold to Terry W., Bob? Do you still have that yellow MRC Screamer?
Here are a few old school whitewater canoes:

Thanks for posting up some photos of old school beauties Pete,
(and others).
I’d never even seen a picture of a Twister before…
Terry bought my Mad River Courier, then flipped it in a heartbeat.
I think his search for the “perfect canoe” is ongoing.
Hate to burst his bubble; there is no such canoe.
Am sending along photo of the Courier.
Yes, I still have the yellow, Mad River Screamer.

Here is a Curtis Dragonfly on the Slippery Rock Creek in western PA (not Bob’s former boat)

(captions are backwards for Curtis Dragonfly and Jensen WWC1 and I can’t seem to fix)
Never had a canoe but if I think of the word the picture in my mind is an aluminum one by Grumman like picture #2 with rivets. May be because I am from Long Island where Grumman was located. Nice pictures here thanks!

This canoe belongs to a friend of mine. He prefers the old canvas covered wood canoes. This one is estimated to be 100 years old and re-covered three times. He regularily paddles it on club trips. The original builder is unknown. Yes, it is heavy. It paddles nice though.
Old school all the way. (Mainly a kayak guy, but I appreciate seeing all these wonderful old canoes.)
And pblanc: That Pepto boat be out of sight 
Overstreet is that a Merrimack Baboosuc?

I don’t know how old Merrimack canoes are, But a friend I know paddles what he said is a Merrimack solo Baboosuc which is a modern canoe without a canvas exterior. This is a photo of Kevin’s canoe on a Lake Hartwell near Anderson, SC June 2015.
