Canoe
It’s 17’long and 35" wide. Can’t figure out how send pic on this site! It’s white with a blue interior. Has no rocker, but does have a slight side to side curve. No keel Aluminum gunwales, and molded seats. Previous owner refurbished the hull so it’s in great shape… a few surface scratches. Could send pic to email.

Probably a Peter Pond II
Pat designed and manufactured the Peter Pond II as an early Swede-Form recreational boat in the mid 70s. It was later manufactured by Mad River Canoe for a while. The original Peter Pond was a short class racer made by Moore Canoe, then Vega Integral Plastics, a slick symmetrical hull by his father and Howie LaBrant.

Thanks for the info. Any idea how much they went for new? Or how much they’re worth now?

Which Craigslist??
No idea of your location.

Of course value depends on location but canoes don’t appreciate and yours id 40 years old.



And it is 69 lbs

I would guess four hundred. I had a Galt Dandy that I paid seven hundred for and DY said I overpaid.

Upswing
The PPII was originally about $390 but ballooned to $800 as we paid for the Vietnam War through inflation. The Moore laminate was similar to Sawyer’s glass laminate with heavy 18 oz glass roving for an inner layer. The boats were stiff but a little brittle and had the potential for water to seep into the heavy fabric’s intersticies with predictably disastrous results in climbs where water freezes. Strangely, Pat insisted MRC copy the old lamination schedule when they made the hull.



Buff the hull out with rubbing compound, ask $500.
