Tan colored 14' Mad River Passage 14 (same thing as Adventure 14), bought during the summertime, and only used 5 or 6 times. It's in excellent shape with only minor cosmetic scratching from normal usage, paddles and tracks extremely well - I love this boat! Only reason I'm selling is because I'm moving to California, and I need the cargo room and cash. Canoe comes with 2 paddles, PFDs, and an anchor with line, all purchased brand new and in excellent shape. This setup is practically new, and has all been kept inside my garage the entire time I've owned it (except when it was being used of course). Great for fishing (even has rod-holders), family fun, or even semi-serious paddling, this canoe is incredibly versatile and can handle nearly anything you throw at it.

This setup cost me between $750 and $800 new, so for $500, it's a major bargain. I put this on C-List as well, so for the D-Web discount, I'll toss in a dry-box and a cooler if you're interested.

PM or email is fine if interested, or call me at 310-779-47twothree.

Exactly. Head next door to WV and you too can become a member of the Gauley River Swim Team.

Price was right, I guess... I was not pleased to be getting rid of it, but I made my wife promise not to give me any shit whatsoever about the project I'll be starting once we're back home in Cali.

I'm planning on building a proper outrigger canoe, a 24 footer, in three 8 ft sections for easy transport and storage.

Remember when that snake was trying to attack you in the Potomac? That was great.

Well I definitely remember you set a new world record for vertical leap... One second you were right behind me in waist-deep water, the next you were on top of a rock at shoulder height! :p

That was definitely a nutty day. Navigating rapids upriver after sunset is something I hope I never have to do again!
