The SS Fury 2.0

I got a canoe! She’s old and worn out, but she was only $50! One of my coworkers overheard me talking about wanting to buy a canoe and she told me she has had one sitting in her backyard for five years. She said its all yours for fifty bucks so I went to check it out this morning with the money in hand.

Its a fairly heavy canoe, but its a good size with a maximum capacity of 850lbs and its has a nice stable flat bottom much like our old canoe. I was able to pick up 50 feet of parachute cord for $2 and a pool noodle for $1.50 to make sure I got it home in one piece without scratching the car.

I’d love to take it out for a ride today, but I need to get paddles and life jackets still plus I’d like to sand it down and add a new coat of paint – although I do like that it already comes in Fury Red. She probably wont see water until late May when I return from Georgia.

    Score! I have been wanting a canoe or fishing kayak for a while now, just haven’t found one affordable.
    Happy fishing.

    I like the ‘beat-up’ Fury red look!

    Congrats!

    It’s wood and fiberglass – its a bit heavier then our old one.
