17' Alumacraft Canoe, still in great condition after 40 yrs, no dents--despite being used on rocky lake islands. Very low maintenance. I stored it always outside, for 40 yrs, and it's still in great shape, as you will be able to see. Stable, efficient paddling canoe, can carry up to 4 persons, or 725 lbs. total. Great for camping and fishing trips and lake paddling. I'd typically load a 4-person tent, 3 folding chairs, and 2 paddlers, plus other stuff, to go on overnights to a group of islands. Will hate to part with it, but harder for me to carry it now by myself. I think it weighs 75 - 85 lbs, a heavier guage metal than found in many canoes of more recent vintage.
I would expect it to be a very stable, efficient, dependable, low-maintenance canoe that would last for several more decades.
