  Chestnut Prospector Fort
  $1,700
  Adams Basin New York
  1963/64 Prospector. 16 foot. Original except bow seat and lengthened thwart to remove classic Chestnut rail pucker. No cracked wood or ribs. No splices or repairs. The canoe is fresh and ready to use. It is in good plus usable condition. It paddles very nicely. If I didn't need room, I would keep it. I applied 3 coats of Epiphanes Spar varnish. The canvas was painted with three coats of Epiphanes with the final coat knocked back with a flattener on the final coat. If you are into hockey trivia, the original owner was the scorekeeper for the US/Soviet ice hockey game at the 1984 Olympics.
