General Touring and Fast Cruising/ Woodsmen 17’ (Precursor to the wildly popular Spirit II) This is a touring canoe that has nearly the speed and glide of a cruiser. With its sleek bow, and shallow-arch hull, this is one of the most stable and versatile 17’ hulls made. It also delivers excellent tracking and glide. The Woodsmen 17’ is a stable, dry-riding, touring/high-capacity canoe and it will provide you with years of rewarding paddling. This solid canoe is in good condition! The handsome Deep Red Royalex hull shows typical wear, some mild discoloration and evidence of fun and adventures in the rivers and lakes. Features a fully adjustable front seat. This awesome family adventure canoe can easily handle 2 adults, a couple kids, dog + lots of gear. It’s ready for its next adventure! These lightweight performance touring canoes sell for over $3500 today not including paddles, middle seats, or shipping. I can load this on my SUV all by myself but it’s easier with two. Includes 2 Feather Brand straight shaft wood paddles, 1 aluminum/poly telescoping backup paddle, and 2 custom middle seats for the kiddos. $875 OBO CASH for quick sale (cross posted) First come first serve - If the ad is up, it is still for sale.

DIMENSIONS Weight 68 Lbs Length 17' 0" Maximum Gunwale Width 35 " Maximum Hull Width 36" Stern Depth 17" Center Depth 14" Bow Depth 19" Features: Seats – Wenonah comfort style Hull Features: A medium sharp bow point to minimize water resistance for easy paddling and a long, smooth glide. Slight outward flare of the gunwales near the bow to deflect spray. The gunwale line has tumblehome from the area of the bow paddler rearward to allow room to use the paddles comfortably. Standard trim is of the highest aircraft grade, marine-anodized aluminum; 6061-T6. Moderately high sides (14") to achieve good carrying capacity and dryness without excess sidewind resistance. Hull widens quickly from the bow back giving good stability and capacity, but the hull is shaped to part water smoothly, not violently. A moderately high bow (19") to contend well with typical waves when heavily loaded for a dry ride. A graceful bow curve that runs free of weeds, sticks and leaves, etc. The lines of taper from the bow to center allow turning and control without side sliding. A straight (horizontal) keel line aids tracking and minimizes the effort expended to keep the canoe on a straight course. A nearly straight stern also aids tracking and efficient streamlining. A shallow-arched hull is best for performance, but the Woodsman 17’ arched hull is flatter than our other canoes, giving a more stable feel and greater capacity. Hull construction from Royalex® multilayer composite offers excellent abrasion resistance and springs back from impacts. Royalex also makes a much lighter weight hull than standard polyethylene and offers excellent strength and toughness. Exterior layers of vinyl sandwich interior layers of ABS and undergo heating and molding, producing a superior-quality watercraft material.
