The ultimate family adventure canoe, or fishing/camping vessel affectionately known as Betty Boop. Ranger Pyranha 17 foot canoe. It comes complete with an incredibly strong 55lb thrust trolling motor and accompanying 18v boat battery which are both in extremely good condition. It becomes a rare e-canoe! I have made a wooden attachment for the rear which means you can use it as a straight Canadian canoe with oar power, or attach the motor and make it a lot easier and faster!
The motor has 5 different speeds as well as reverse. If you are in open water and the current is a bit strong then level 5 will get you to where you need to be. If you're on a long paddle and want to take the edge of then level 1 or 2 will help you along. It comes with 2 fixed seats and a further 2 clip on seats which are adjustable in position which is much more useful than having 4 fixed positions. It is incredibly stable and we have loaded it up with 4 people, trolley, picnic, battery and motor and it still glides along.
You can't compare it to an inflatable canoe, this is a proper bit of kit. It comes complete with: fold up trolley so you can take it with you when you launch, 2 additional clip in seats, 2 beautiful wooden oars, 2 adjustable size aluminium and polypropylene oars, a throw line, small boat anchor, 18v boat batter with a Bison marine boat battery box with USB connectivity, 55lb Bison thrust trolling motor with a spare unused prop. The canoe of course has some superficial scrapes along the bottom as do all second hand canoes but it is in overall good condition and is ready to launch. We have enjoyed some really special times as a family but my wife unfortunately can't lift it onto the car any longer and my shoulder problem means I can't do it alone! We are based in Wimborne Dorset, buyer to collect.
