jmcghee Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have an Old Town "Pack" solo canoe for sale. This is a fantasic fishing canoe that I've used many times to float the Mackinaw and DuPage. At 12 ft. and around 35lbs. it's perfect for one person to handle to and from the water. I've added front and rear anchor locks (I'll include two anchors with it) a rear rod holder (holds 4 rods), custom lowered aluminum seat cradle with "sitbacker" seat, and a wooden "deck" that I use to strap my backpack/ tacklebox to. Set up the way it is, you can fairly easily paddle upstream in normal summer flows with a kayak paddle (also included) and drift back down to your vehicle. I fished out of it 3 weeks ago, and it is ready to go right now. It's in good shape, with only the normal cosmetic blemishes from beaching on gravel bars etc. It's really a great canoe for Illinois river/ stream smallmouth fishing, and is a lighter weight alternative to a kayak... only it holds way more gear. It's priced at $600 with all the bells and whistles, and I'd be willing to deliver/ meet anywhere in central Illinois, and possibly Chicagoland. I also have a like new Yakima roof rack with load stops that retails for $285 that I'd throw in for an extra $150. Feel free to email or call at any time, and thanks for taking a look! -James McGhee dutchallison00@yahoo.com (847) 385-8839 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonn Graham Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wow!!!! Very nice. I like the way you have it all rigged out. If you don't mind me asking, why are you selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcghee Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks Jonn! I'm selling it because after two years, I figured out that I really just prefer to wade. I've done quite a few float trips and while I do enjoy them, I always seem to enjoy my wading trips more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
