Used Boat Sales Event

The best time to look for a used canoe from
Algonquin Outfitters or Swift is always in the Fall, starting
in Sept and again in the Spring. It's often difficult for
us to look for canoes in the winter because of the 6ft snow
drifts often found around our Oxtongue Lake store, and in
the summer most of our rental canoes are in high demand.
Every year we sell off several dozen used
canoes, most are retired rentals that have seen several
seasons of rental use and will usually have scratches and
even patches on their hauls. All of our canoes have been
reconditioned to a "no leak" condition, some may
even have had new paint jobs. All are a good value.
Most Kevlar models sell between $900 and $1500
(about half to a third of their retail price) and Fiberglass
models sell between $500 and $800. The most popular used
models are Algonquin 16 & 17 and the Swift Kipawa 16'6".
We may have the occasional Solo Canoe or Royalex Dumoine
but they are not always available.
The Elusive $300 Used Canoe
We do get a lot of calls from customers wanting
the elusive $300 ultralight Kevlar canoe, with most new
Kevlar canoes costing $2000-$4000 you can just imaging what
a used one valued at $300 would look like. One thing you
should consider in what price range you look in, is usually
the lower the price the more TLC your used canoe will require..
For those who insist on finding a $300 canoe.
Sometimes when the wind blows hard and the 100' pine trees
at our store give way, mother nature creates some nice (non
seaworthy) canoes that we either turn into lovely collector
book shelves or sell as... well $300 as is canoes..
Swift's
road shows are also another great place to find one
of our used canoes.
