What is the size of your fleet

GNM and Nimble made a statement on another thread about boats were like shoes "You can never have to many". I was being heckeled last weekend about having to many boats. I said the same thing to my friends.
Current count:
17 foot Blue Hole tandem canoe
15 foot Coleman tandem canoe
10 foot Buffalo Solo canoe
Advanced Elements Advanced Frame inflatable yak on the way
Considering a Mohawk 14 foot solo canoe
20 foot pontoon
I just sold a Fish and Ski boat.
My yard looks like a land locked marina.

HA!

10' Pamlico
23' Pamlico

and COMING SOON!! a canoe of some sort...doesn't really matter to me ...but the kid and I need one as sometimes she wants me to do all the work.

and for me.............PYRANHA......Lord please please purty please before end of summer.

I have been looking at a Mohawk Odyssey 14' solo. It is pricey but it fits what I need ....umm want.

If you are not going to run rough white water I think the best deal going is a Old Town Guide 14'7" tandem. Academy has them for $450.00. A friend has two and he has abused them in some decent whitewater and they have held up well. I would love to get a Pyranha Burn M....maybe next year.

I saw a brand a few weeks ago I've never heard of [www.nativewatercraft.com] Been kind of fascinated with them but don't know enough to say I'd like to add it to the "fleet" yet.

The canoe would be strictly for taking my daughter out. She has been paddling with me but in her own kayak...but sometimes depending on levels I'd feel better with her in a boat with me.

Last year I studied and studied between the Burn and the Stretch. Stretch was what I wound up deciding on....now if I can convince my pocket book off the same!!

add another Pyranha to that wish list....

That is a snazzy boat. AAAARGH So much gear and so little time and funding.

Only 2 at the moment. A 12' Wilderness Systems Pungo kayak and a 14' Radisson canoe.

10' Hornbeck Black Jack pack canoe is on my wish list. $1600 is a bit steep for me, but the thing only weighs 12 pounds.

dang...I just realized a typographical error extraordinaire in my fleet list....that second pamilico is a 12'!! Obviously, I was one key over!! Why didn't you bozos call me out on THAT!!?!!? some fryakin buddies ya'll are!! :)

GNM I looked at their web site and did not see a 23' boat. I thought maybe two of them had stuck in the mold and morphed into the super yak.

LZ that Blackjack is an awesome looking boat. 12 lbs is crazy light. I would be the only kid on the creek with a carbon fiber boat.

The best part is it's build locally in Pete Hornbeck's modified garage.

Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160 (old style with the hatches for camping)
Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro TW - a classic
Cobra Eliminator - currently has a broken rudder
Perception Acadia - currently out on loan

I have a garage but I am unable to park my car in there because of the sail boat and kayaks...nuff said

2 Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140's. 14 foot of course.

I don't recall making that statement, probably that blabbermouth, GNM, Lol. At one time I had 5 boats, an old tri-hull with a 35 horse Johnson, an older rowboat, a 2 seater Kayak, a 14 ft fiberglass canoe and a 12 ft folbot. I got rid of everything but the folbot and picked up an older 17 ft grumman canoe. I don't think it matters much what a person has as long as they can get out on the water. Two big pieces of styrofoam, a plank and some rope could work:)

Geez, smacked down for 4 consecutive days before I even noticed it:) If a tree falls in the forest...

GNM My neighbor is selling a Stretch XL. It is a 62 gallon hull. The boat is pretty clean. Some minor cosmetic scratches but no deep scars. The hull is rigid and has not coffee canned.

Seems like a pretty good deal.

That would be awesome HillBilly but the M/L Stretch was the fit for me. I tested both sizes and the L/XL was just not tight enough feeling even with bags and extra foam. Dang..I wish it was a M!!!

Thanks for posting it though.

I got my canoe out yesterday. I hate that canoe, but I haven't been able to sink it. It is almost 30 years old. A Coleman 15 footer that is warped and misshapen. It handles like a log, but when we were both in better shape I rode that thing on hundreds of miles of premium white water.

Here's a picture of my kayak jut before launching it on it's first overnight trip.
