Looking to get into kayaking / canoeing in and about my house. Some saltwater with mostly freshwater. If available I will put a motor in the back Posted by FBI_OPEN_
uncouth-vermouth on July 25, 2025 10:43 am Go on craigslist and look for an older old town. You can normally snag those for $300-$600 for a canoe that will outlive you. That canoe will work, but those plastic canoes are notoriously tippy and will wrap overtime if stored in the sun or transported improperly I’d never take a canoe on salt. You can work it in a marsh or tidal river, maybe, but it sounds like you may benefit from a kayak.
