Stowe Mansfield Canoe

13' Mansfield canoe that was manufactured by the Stowe Canoe Company of Stowe, VT. These highly praised fishing canoes were made from the early 1970's until the company closed in 1991. I am the original owner, and purchased this canoe in the 1980's at the Gander Mountain store in Wilmot, Wisconsin, and it is in very good shape for a vintage canoe nearly 40 years old. I used it exclusively for fishing on small lakes and ponds, and found it light enough for easy transport, and would guess the weight to be between 40 and 50 pounds. Although it appears to be a cedar/canvas canoe, it actually has a molded fiberglass shell with thin mahogany ribs and hardwood gunwales and decks, that make it a truly sight to behold.

With a beam of nearly 39" and keel, it is exceptionally stable, which makes it particularlly popular as a fishing canoe. For the past 10 years, the canoe has been unused and stored in a pole barn. The serial number shown on the hull, is SCSC 32930797. Paddles not included. Local pickup only.

I live near the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in Northwest Michigan, an attractive area to visit for a local pickup.
