Origin model of the Big Old Town Oltonar/Royalex tripping canoes. Selling a exceedingly rare and beautiful, Old Town Ranger 17’2 Royalex Canoe package! (Pre-Tripper Class ) *** Pics - Had something on my lens that caused some glare*** Garage kept its entire life and rarely paddled since 1992! Maybe the nicest 40+ year old Royalex canoe in the NW! A connoisseurs dream, outfitted with stunning wood gunwales, thwarts and brass hardware including endcaps, screws and rings bow and stern. This classic canoe is in excellent shape with some light signs of past adventures. Beautiful Forrest Green Royalex Hull is light for its size and capacity and extremely durable! Perfect for rocky Oregon/Washington rivers. In my humble opinion its better than Kevlar because of how easily Kevlar creases and spiders. Beautiful wood inside the canoe with comfy cane seats. Comes with 2 Grey Owl Ultralight wood paddles, Canoe cart and 2 life jackets. The Ranger 17’2 is a forgiving canoe and regarded by many as the best tandem wilderness tripping canoe ever built. Stability the whole family will appreciate. A beautiful experience compared to the rotomolded heavy plastic junk they are selling everywhere. A similar modern polyethylene canoe would weigh over 100lbs! Despite its large capacity I can load this on my SUV all by myself if necessary. No sweat for two people. Perfect for exploring the beautiful rivers and lakes of the northwest! Can easily handle 2 adults, a couple of kids and a dog + lots of camping gear. Old Towns ultimate multi-day adventure canoe.
