  Title: 1922 Old Town Canoe - Grade AA, Model: Ideal, #67141 - For Sale
  Price: $1,500
  Location: Dunedin, Florida
  Description: In 1990, I saved this boat from going to the landfill. Both decks were rotten and the canvas in rough shape. It was restored in 1994 at the Canoe Shop in Tallahassee, Florida. They advised fiberglass instead of replacing the canvas saying (incorrectly) the salt water would destroy it. It has a step for a mast/sailing rig. Boat has been stored outside under a cover but the varnish and fiberglass needs to be repaired or replaced.
  Condition: Needs Restoration (but paddleable)
