Boreal Access

Seems like summer just began a few days ago and here we are at Labor Day weekend.  Also looks like writing never made it to the top of the list.  That just leaves more stories to share this winter!

As we do every year we have some canoes for sale and a few gear items that are ready to move on to new homes.

Canoes********

*Bell Vermont 17′ kevlar canoes   $950each,  5 to choose from.

42 pounds, padded yoke, webbed seats, bronze color aluminum gunnels

The Vermont is essentially a 17 foot Mad River Explorer and was designed for Bell by Jim Henry, original owner of Mad River.  They are a big volume boat that will hold lots of gear and two big guys or even a smaller family with a dog.  It makes an  excellent fishing platform yet still is quick in the water when lightly loaded.

These canoes are all from 2006 and have had good use.  Most have had a new seat or seat bracket as that seemed to be a weak point, as well as a remount of the portage yoke.  Otherwise they are in good shape and have years of use left in them.

*Wenonah Prism Solo kevlar, 16′ 2003 - only one at $900. 

The prism is a very forgiving, stable solo boat.  It weighs about 34 pounds and comes with our custom portage yoke.  Unlike most rental and retail Prisms, ours has a web seat hung from the gunnels.  We think it’s more comfortable and avoids that goofy sliding rack on the floor.  It also facilitates our portage yoke which is way better and simpler than anything wenonah sells with the canoe.

*Wenonah MN III - 20′ 55 pounds - 2005 model,  only one at $1150

The MN III is a great family canoe or the perfect thing for three to see the BWCA.  This one has a few small repairs but is still in really good condition.

Besides canoes****

Granite Gear traditional #3.5 packs   $40

Superior Quetico #4      $40

All the packs have some issue - a missing buckle, a small hole, a tear but are generally usable as is.  A bit of work and you have perfectly good pack for years to come.

Tents****

Eureka Timberline 4 person outfitter grade tents $50

Eureka Back Country outfitter grade tent      $25

Eureka Base Camp Timberline outfitter 6 person tent $65

Come and see what we have or call us and we can ship gear.  Canoes are for pick up only.

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
