  1983 Rangeley guideboat by H.N. Ellis
  Very Good original condition
  $3500
  Custom built for us with his son Hal's aid, this is likely Herbie Ellis's final boat (see my piece "The Rangeley Tradition," WoodenBoat #39, Mar'Apr, 1981). It has lived a pampered life: always rowed; moored on freshwater under a custom cover; trailered two miles twice yearly; stored indoors in winter; regularly cleaned and maintained. With it is a pair of Shaw and Tenney 8' spruce spoons and a 1983 galvanized Shoreland'r trailer'/winter berth (new hubs and bearings). This boat has many miles to row before it sleeps.

  For Sale: Super Lightweight Strip Plank Adirondack Guide Boat
  $2200.00
  Greater Boston Massachusetts
  Description: In the summer of 2022, I decided that the time had come to refocus on boats! I wanted to learn a new lightweight building technique - strip planking. So I attended the Wooden Boat School and under the instruction of a well-known Designer and Builder the boat you see below was constructed over molds with strip planks of Western cedar. Fiberglass and epoxy reinforcement make for an incredibly light but tough boat. I offer the results of that learning for the cost of materials $2200.00. I can "help" with delivery if you are in the US and within 100 miles of Boston MA. Why am I selling? I want to learn / build a stitch and glue Lapstrake Canoe and I do not have room for both boats.
  Condition: Excellent Original
