A Unique Collector’s Canoe: Here is a chance to own and to preserve a piece of canoe history. This canoe has been crafted by the Burleigh Falls Canoe Company using a unique method of canoe construction that utilizes cedar strips that have been attached to oak ribs using copper nails. This method of canoe construction has a long lineage. It was first developed in the Lakefield/Peterborough Ontario area in the late 1850’s and early 1860’s. This canoe building tradition was continued by Walter Walker who was born in 1907. Walter ended up settling in Lakefield Ontario, and built canoes for more than 60 years, using some on the original forms from the Gordon Canoe Company of Lakefield. At the age of 100, Walter was still building and the master canoe builder figured he still had enough wood lying around to build one more canoe before he could retire. (See Canadian Icons - https://www.canadianicons.ca/products/walter-walker-canoe) Back in the early 1970’s, Walter trained an apprentice in the art of strip canoe building who, in 1974, went on to found the Burleigh Falls Canoe Company. The canoe for sale here was built by the Metis of Burleigh Falls, and it was purchased in the Spring of 1976. Since the date of purchase, there have been only two owners. The canoe has been stored indoors and beautifully maintained. Features: 16’ Cedar Strip canoe, Babiche seats, Butternut Decks, Red Oak Gunwales, Ribs & Centre Thwart.

I just bought a new house and found this in the barn covered with a tarp. I assumed it was a rotten piece of trash and just got around to pulling the tarp off. To my astonishment, it's in really good shape. The exterior needs sanded and refinished, but other than that it looks great. The interior is in excellent shape - the ropes not only aren't decayed, they look almost new. There's no corrosion on any of the hardware. It's just amazing that it's in this good of a condition for a wood boat from 1967. I'll never use it and would like to get it to someone who'd appreciate it.

A beautiful 12' boat that has been babied for over sixty years and ALWAYS garaged - so it has its ORIGINAL finish! This has to be the finest Old Town Sportboat in existence. It is O. T.'s "Grade AA," with beautiful mahogany and cedar woods. I doubt you could find today as high a quality mahogany as this stern's plank. The boat features wood/canvas construction, as Old Town used on its famous canoes. It would be PERFECT for towing behind your Chevy Nomad to your next car cruise. A true 1950's flashback! The canvas was worn but has now been replaced with state-of-the-art Stewart Systems' heavy Superflight Dacron fabric, the same material and paint system certified for use on aerobatic biplanes. Being an almost-flat bottom, the boat is nice and stable, and it is rated for a 10hp motor but I always used it for rowing. And it rows great! A previous owner did use it with a motor. The original Holsclaw trailer (now fully restored) is included and the whole package (trailer and boat) only weighs in at about 400 lbs, so it can be towed with almost any car and is simple to roll about in storage. Boat and trailer are both PA titled and registered.

Not sure why I bought it. I just liked it I guess. I was told it was a 1960. Fathers and son project. Complete with original brass Orr locks and ours. I’ve not started ant restoration as to preserve the original integrity. It is just way cool. Could be a wall hanger or a Sunday puttzer.

My father’s 13th birthday present in 1927. It is painter green, refinished interior wood, canvas replaced in the early 1990s. Rarely used of late.

Was originally owned by Anita Duncan located in Upstate New York, Hudson Valley. She had left the boat to the brother of my friend who worked on restoring it. The brother passed away and my friend wanted to keep the boat as part of his legacy so she rented the space from me. She has now gifted the boat to me to sell it.

My late father Richard had purchased this boat in 1953. He was a boating enthusiast who taught boat safety and navigation along side my mother; owning several boats throughout the years. He had changed the boat from an outboard to in board and had re-chalked and painted it. I don't know why he garaged it and it has been garaged for over 57 or more years. He never did finish the project. The boats name is the TAG A LONG. There are many stories when it was in the water.

Lee Craft boats were designed, made for Flathead Lake in Montana; the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi

From Alexandria Boat Works in in Minnesota, this magnificently crafted cedar strip planked boat is a truly beautiful example of a great quality regional boat builder. This particular boat is in fantastic condition with a nearly pristine hull. Pictures and video from May of 2024 show what a gem this boat is. The Evinrude outboard runs and sounds great. Alexandria Boat Works was a family business that made a variety of wood boats for 67 years until 1954 when they turned to fiberglass boats. The frames and strip planking on this boat are like no other. The plank seams are nearly undetectable on this smooth hull and it has been said ABW was one of the boat builders who claimed to have invented or at least perfected the convex-concave hull strips. The detail and craftsmanship in this boat is truly amazing.

Wooden boat in good condition and stored in side for many years. Also trailer

This boat was my father's gift to himself after he graduated from Notre Dame. We used to take this boat to New Hampshire every year until we moved to CO in 1972.

Beautiful, fast ski boat. Sad to see it go. Needs some attention. Motor runs great. Just needs reeds.

Vintage cedar strip canoe! Own a piece of history! Beautiful, fully restored, 16-foot vintage canoe from the Chestnut Canoe Company, N.B. Likely the Prospector model with v-shaped transom stern. So smooth on the water. As you can see from the pictures, it’s in great shape. There is -- full-disclosure -- a damaged spot on the ribs near the bow, about the size of a lady's fist. It doesn’t affect the vessel's seaworthiness at all as it is near the rail and it isn’t big enough to affect the sturdiness of the structure.

Had original paint stripped and special aluminum primer applied before painting. Father & son projected. Boys moved away and dont get to the lake much.

The boat was my brothers pride and joy. He left me with it but I would like to sell it to someone who can use it and take care of it. My brother saw the boat in his friend's yard in the early 2000's. He bought the boat and started working on it right away. He even devoted his garage to it for several years. In the process he stripped and painted the hull. He also bought new parts and had some others re-chromed. You could tell he loved the Rocket by the time and money he spent on it. Both the boat and trailer have titles. Extras that come with the boat are in the pictures. [PRICE REDUCED - APRIL 2024 - from $6,900 to $3,000 by a motivated owner. Make an offer!]

This beautiful canoe was made by the Kawartha Métis & N.S. Indian Association (Burleigh Falls, Ontario, Canada) in the 1970's.  Many aspects are very similar to boats built by Peterborough including the ribs, decking, and coamings. It is a fine example of Canadian craftsmanship and is in outstanding original condition. Enjoy a luxurious ride on your favorite lake or use this as a magnificent show piece for your home, B&B or business. This canoe has always been stored indoors, in temperature control and away from direct sunlight. Meticulously cared for over the years and maintained.

We hope it finds a new home that enjoys it as much as we have. 2 vintage wooden paddles are also included. Although not restored (one has a crack in the blade) they look good and are perfect for a simple DIY restoration project).

Cedar double ended rowing skiff with spoon oars with leathers. Boat came from Muskoka area. Had been owned by the Hand family then another party in Ontario. I got it about 20 years ago and subsequently had some strips, 1/2 keel and a stem replaced by the instructors at Urban Boatbuilders in St Paul. the outer hull was stripped and I varnished with Deks Olje. Our use at the cottage was great but our use is inconvenient by the repeated in and out with soaking when we would return after a few weeks away. Deck batten boards need repair or replacement. All original hardware including the rare foot brace. Interior and gunwales could/should be refinished. Has been in dry storage for 5 years. No trailer, can car top or fit inside a van. Wonderful rowing. Can assist with delivery.

This canoe is very similar to a 1910s-1920s Old Town but was built by the B. N. Morris Canoe Company in Veazie, Maine in 1914. Morris produced wood and canvas canoes from 1891 until fire destroyed the factory late in 1919. The 17-foot Heavy Water canoe was apparently shipped to Maryland in 1915. It later found its way to the hands of a Warren Proctor, who owned a camp in northern Pittsburg, New Hampshire where it spent most of its life being paddled on the first Connecticut River lake. Upon his death, she was acquired by the current owner. It has been stored inside since. The factory green was repainted with a blue tone which is now cracked and in need of a refresh. The hull is in great shape, no cracked rips or internal damage. The keel is in good shape. The brass bow-strip has fallen off but is still with the boat. Original seats are intact. The hull serial number is 11755.

Old Town Wood-Canvas Sailing Canoe Old Town canoe 130365 is an 18 foot, Common Sense grade Otca model canoe with Half-Ribs and Open Spruce gunwales. This canoe is fitted for sailing as well as paddling and is ready to create pleasant memories for a new owner. This 1941 Old Town Otca model was meticulously restored in 2017. Most of the sail rigging is original to canoe. Mast has been rebuilt and original sail replaced with a period-correct 55 sq.ft. four-panel lateen sail with battens, in pale cream, with the look a feel of cotton. The canoe also sports a new custom-built floor rack, a brass flagpole socket, a painter ring and a period-correct Old Town decal. Additionally, the canoe comes with an original Old Town canoe chair, pennant, mast-top ribbon, photos of the recent restoration, and a copy of the original Old Town build record. This canoe was featured on the cover of the journal "Wooden Canoe", vol. 40, number 3, which contains her full story.

We bought this boat from the original owners, a married couple in their 90's who had not been able to put it in the water for over ten years and finally decided it needed owners who would appreciate and use it. Engine tuned up in 2016 with new points, plugs and throttle cable. Last in the water in 2021 and ran great!! Hull has been scraped, sealed and spot primed. Needs final coats of paint. Comes with new covers Bimini and Convertible top. Always stored indoors.

This boat would be a great restoration project. It comes with hull card and a newly rebuilt 327 Chevy ready to power the boat upon completion.

This boat was purchased in Desbarat, Ontario of unclear lineage though it appears to be in the International 14 style of the Aykroyd skiffs. It lived on Basswood Lake for two seasons before weathering a storm while moored off. The thought is that one of the stays broke and the wrenching of the mast foot opened some of the planks and sent the boat to the bottom. It was brought up the next day and put into storage for the last decade. It is a project boat with a little of everything required; new paint, a few new ribs/planks, new deck canvas, new hardware.

A 1938 Old Town sponson canoe for which I have the information on when it was laid up, delivered, and sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. It is one of the models with mahogany thwarts, gunwales, etc. It was completely restored about 15 years ago and at the time was covered with fiberglass. It is in very good condition and has been used sparingly in recent years.

This rare sponson canoe, perhaps built in or around 1916, is believed to be a Kennebec because of its age and design. It has been completely restored with new ribs as needed. The decks, stem and canvas are all in excellent condition. She has been used sparingly in recent years and stored carefully..

I did partial restoration, exterior only, as in the interior every scratch and crack has a story to it. The oars are beautiful and are tipped with copper or brass? The boat was rented for a photo shoot to be pictured in a Country Western album by singer Gary Allen. Buyer can either pick up or have boat shipped.

At one time the skiff may have had a sail. It has been restored on the inside and fiberglassed on the outside.

1929 with paperwork. Excellent condition save for some fraying of the canvas at the bow and stern which requires attention. Was stored under an enclosed porch for many years.

The Beaver Boat & Marine Co. manufactured wooden boats in Orillia, Ontario for only two years - 1960 and 1961. This boat was purchased by my grandfather in Winnipeg in 1962. It was used exclusively on our lake in the Whiteshell for 30-some years before the motor became an issue, us kids all grew up, and it fell out of use. Since then it has sat in our boathouse, and it's time to pass it on. Other than needing a refinishing it's in great shape. The Mercury engine has been stored safely all these years as well, but wasn't in working order when it was last on the lake.

This is a beautiful rowing skiff built by W.J. Dowsett of Portland, ON. Dowsett built a variety of rowing skiffs, inboard motor skiffs, launches, and runabouts; many of which remain in the area today! This example has been lovingly restored with all new ribs and planking where necessary. Complete with an original set of Dowsett oars, which are very distinctive in their construction. These skiffs are a pleasure to row and the perfect addition to your cottage!

Rare Tin and Fiberglass Finn boat. Needs restoration. I have to many projects. It is all there except the windshield and some steering parts. All the trim you would never find is on it.

This is a very rare model of Peterborough and a must-have for the Peterborough collector. The traveler model was only built in limited numbers and was one of the company's early efforts to break into the inboard boat market. The design was very utilitarian with no windshield and center-position steering. She is quite heavily built compared to other Peterborough boats of the era. Powered by a Universal Flexi-4 engine, predecessor to the Atomic-4. Some restoration work has been started and she is now ready for a craftsman to take over the job!

Another iconic Falls Flyer outboard model. This example is ready for restoration. Bare fiberglass and no hardware - a great candidate for restoration or a custom build!

Steel manufacturing was quite an industry in the early 1900's, and manufacturers such as Mullins and F.H. Darrow took advantage of the growing market for watercraft and began to build marketable boats. F.H. Darrow Steel Boat Manufacturing Co. built this portable rowboat around 1915 when trailers were uncommon and the automobile was quickly gaining in popularity. They developed an ingenious design where a 16' rowboat could be broken down into 3 independent segments, nested one inside the other, and mounted on the running board of a car! Not only is the boat easily portable; each section can float independently. This design is very unique and represents an era when the concept of travel by road took off! She has been nicely restored and is complete with oars. Full documentation available.

From 1882 to the 1930's only two companies from New York City made bathroom fixtures which became common place on boats and rail cars. The most attractive and successful design was the fold down sink which was ideal for close quarters. They were used on Chris Craft Commuters, Elco's, Robinson Seagull's, Richardson's, Sea Lyon's, American Car and Foundry's and Wheeler Playmate's. Today these are sought after by yacht and cruiser and train car owners alike. This unit is in excellent condition after being restored and is ready to complete your project and adorn your pride and joy.

Completely original and a true collector's piece! This 7.5hp Scott Attwater is complete with its original carrying bag - great display piece or addition to your 1950's outboard boat.

Engine only. This engine runs my minitugboat a 21 Downeaster. It once ran the Paddlewheel Ride at Knots Berry farm and was rebuilt by the guy who did John Waynes boat, it is flawless, freshwater cooled, 2-1 gear reduction, curently set up for drystack but easy to convert (just add a muffler). Its a running take out so you can see it go before you go with it. I will remove, you ship it.

1968 Rogue. 350 engine that was rebuilt last year. Has less than 15 hours on it. It has original top new flooring and new front seats. New exhaust. I have installed a CD/aux player and speakers. It does need a little TLC here and there but I really enjoy it and always get comments on it. It has a tandem trailer that could use a coat of paint but works nicely. Titles available for both.

I have a Pre-War 60 Horse Power Scripps Motor with Original Transmission. Motor is seized. This is a restoration candidate that would complete a restorer's interesting project. Comes complete with the original transmission. This motor has the SCRIPPS red metal tag on the head and the brass tag on the Transmission. Seller will remove engine from boat and strap to pallet for the buyer.

Native made in Peterborough Ontario. Serial 6051. 2 seater. No damage, fastened with copper nails. Tracks and handles well.

Built from a kit in 1933. Mahogany wood is in great shape. Trailer has Model T Ford wheels and a spare tire. Current owner has had the boat since 1970. Registration is current as well.

This fiberglass boat is in fair condition and would make a great boat for any restoration effort. The Dorsett Company was formed in 1955 and in 1958 the Dorsett logo began appearing on all of their boats. The first boat sold was to Richard W. Dorst who was a US Navy veteran and the company President.

Project Boat! This is a restorable, Classic Arabian...desirable Century made boat. No engine, but the original v-drive, propeller shaft, prop and rudder are all there. I believe all hardware, trim and interior components are there and included. The engine stringers are soft and need to be replaced and re-fiberglassed...other than that, a straight forward reassembly. Have transferable registration for both boat and trailer...will provide buyer with a bill of sale for each.

The owner purchased this boat from a friend who bought it at an auction. The boat is in good overall condition and needs only a refinish. Nice red & white interior, original motor with a plaque on the dash and push button electric choke. Brass fire extinguisher. Just acquired a gas tank so haven't had it running. Complete cool looking boat featured in the popular mechanics book.

This is a free turning by pull cord or starter motor for parts or rebuild. Shift/speed control Station with 6 ft cables. Motor has no wiring harness.Cowl has been brush painted, but is sound. Motor foot seems to be O K , and responds to shifting positions. Local pick-up in Pensacola, FL; or will deliver within 400 miles at $.50 per mile, or crate and ship to buyer for actual agreed cost. The motor on the boat is what this one can look like when properly restored.

This boat is old (64 yrs) and will get a lot of attention and admiration anywhere you go, lots original and a few necessary/convenience upgrades. Has a top cover that could be replaced or used as is, side vinyls are in pretty good shape, prop is a bit rough and original, but serves its function. The motor is a late 70's Merc 200, fires up every time like a champ, well maintained, has a hydro plane fin on motor. Steel drain basin, good to hit the water as soon as you can license it!

Classic antique rare Old Town Sport Boat green canvas. In good condition. Needs a little work, stored in metal garage for over 25 years. Looking best offer for this rare old classic when they used to make boats

Another example of Canadian craftsmanship with cedar planking on steam bent white oak frames. This once lovely runabout requires a full restoration and refinishing. The boat decks are fully repairable.

This boat is early 1900's and is known as an "Adirondack Church Boat" apparently for the ability to place an outboard engine on the transom instead of rowing to church. Same hull design as guide boat, except for square transom. Deck, front and rear have been replaced and could be better done (not done as original). This is a very unique boat of both design and ability. A perfect small Adirondack lake boat in very good condition. More photos available on request.

This Geisler Brothers has only been used a few times and is in very nice condition. The boat can be used for rowing and has a skeg or can also be used for canoeing. It weights 95 lbs and is made of cedar and oak construction. Painted in red interlux. The canoe can accomodate an outboard up to 6 HP.

This 17 foot OTCA Old Town Canoe was given to me by my sons for my 50th birthday. It was lovingly cared for and used on Lake Wentworth , New Hampshire for 18 years and has been in my garage for the last 10 years not being used. We have the build sheet history and great memories of the canoe but are simply not using it any longer.

If you are looking for a restoration project this winter, here is an excellent opportunity! Restore this rare COMET- Richardson Aqua Craft built in the 60's. The hull has to be rebuilt, the rest of the boat is in pretty good condition, complete with seats. See pictures..

1930's Peterborough "Campmate" outboard model. Fairly uncommon and in very original condition. 14 feet long, stored indoors for the last 20 years. Boat needs some restoration but is a nice survivor. Comes with a vintage Tee Nee trailer!
