New canoes this year – options

  • Odie has an unlimited canoe he is willing to sell us for $18k and if we trade/donate our remaining koa wood, he takes off another $2k.  Normally this canoe is $21-$22k.  Weight of this canoe would be 140-150 lbs.  Would be ready within a month.  A lighter unlimited canoe would open up more races.  Our koa could also be built into another canoe and sold for $30k +/-.  Need to find out how much koa we actually have remaining.  Derek will discuss possibilities with Odie.
  • A new fiberglass canoe should remain on the top of our list for new canoes and have the Recreation paddlers name the canoe.  Cost about $11,500 +/-.  Jim will gather data from each canoe company and the board will review and seek Jeb and club members input on canoe type.
