Grumman Aluminium Canoe 17 Ft

Grumman Aluminium Canoe 17 Foot. Here I have up for auction my 17 foot Grumman aluminium canoe. These canoes are highly sought after and used examples rarely come up for sale. If you are looking and know about these canoes you will be aware that they are built to last and have a reputation for longevity and quality. Made from aircraft grade aluminium in the U.S.A.

By the Marathon Boat Group NY. I found this text online "Tough as nails. Designed to last and perform, every Grumman canoe is hand-crafted from a special age-hardened, stretch-formed aluminum alloy substantially stronger than traditional alloys. Each Grumman Canoe is hand riveted with specially-designed T-6 Alumilite rivets for maximum strength along gunnels, keels and ribs. The stretch-forming process permanently shapes the curves designed into the bow, stern and sides for maximum strength.

For added rigidity and unbeatable strength, Grumman Canoes use die-formed aluminum ribs and thwarts, and solid aluminum extruded gunnels." Build quality of these canoe is excellent never had to make a repair it’s so strong. Safely sticker notes it carry five people or an equivalent 675lbs. We have happily paddled this boat with 2 adults 1 child and a dog !!! Very solid great for families. This is a used boat, acquired originally by a friend from an activity centre in the Lake District and later sold on on to us.

We have have had this canoe for about 10 years. Last used summer 2021 does not leak and it performs beautifully on the water. Please note this canoe comes with a rudder it’s very difficult to steer without so please note if looking at others selling same model without. Also includes x 2 paddles. In addition last summer there was one lake we paddled that were no longer allowing plastic canoes or paddle boards because of the micro plastic pollution to wildlife.

It’s a good green option and ultimately a recyclable item. I have taken good quality pictures which give a true representation of the canoes condition.
