NOTES FROM THE OWNER
We spent 16 days/15 nights on it this summer and cruised for nearly 2 weeks straight sleeping on the boat the entire time, spending a few nights in and around Clayton, NY and then traveling from the St. Lawrence Seaway to Kingston, Ontario and then up the Rideau Canal towards Ottawa and back. The boat handled perfectly and only used 12 gallons of gas during the entire trip. Very comfortable for a small pocket cruiser. Custom memory foam sleeping bunk upholstered cushions. Also has a nearly-new condition, barely used, thoroughly cleaned portable toilet. Previously, we covered half of the Erie Canal in one trip with this boat and had an excellent time and the boat performed flawlessly.
Every time this boat is out and about, either being towed behind the truck or being used in the water, it attracts a lot of attention and compliments. This is your chance to own a unique, One-of-a-Kind boat. We have done all of the bodies of water that we purchased the boat to do, so it is time to share it with the next couple who is looking to do Erie Canal cruises, Rideau Canal, St. Lawrence, Hudson River, or your preferred body of water cruising.
