Mad River Escape Folding Canoe 16 ft. 5in. Identical to current Pakboat 165 model http://www.pakboats.com. Serial MD16318D696 indicates it was made in 1996. Very little use is evident. The boat is in terrific shape. There was a minor tear at the bow which I repaired according to Pakboat direction. The boat is super light but a real packhorse. Ideal for really getting into the wilderness via horse or bush plane. Also ideal for those without storage for a 16+ foot object. It will fit in your closet and car trunk. Comes with one pedestal seat (like the pakboat pedestal seat except that the top is plywood and foam rather than woven straps) which is very comfortable. As noted below, this is a nice solo boat. If you want a tandem setup, a Pakboat seat is $90. Comes with Carry bag. Approx. 16 x 16 x 36. The Pakboat 165 currently sells for $2015. Asking $1150. From Pakboat: Specs Model PakCanoe 165 Beam 33" 84 cm Depth 14" 36 cm Weight 54 lbs 24.5 kg Length 16.5' 505 cm Capacity 830 lbs 375 kg Description PakCanoe 165 is a smaller wilderness tripper. It works well for two moderate size paddlers and gear for 2 or 3 weeks. The 165 is narrower than the 170 and makes a nice expedition solo. Wider cross ribs can be installed for greater stability. Pedestal Canoe Seat. This unique seat offers two alternative paddling positions - horizontal for sitting and slanted forward to support kneeling. You can change between the two positions with one hand in less than 5 seconds. The seat can be mounted in several alternative locations in the canoe and folds flat for storage. |
