That's a very fair price on a boat with a good pedigree.
You could run it and resell it for a similar price.

paging @MNicholsI assume at least some of ya'll follow Brad and his stories, if not you should!
Here's a good piece about a good dory wreck wreck, and its repair...

Bears Ears and other stories - Fretwater Boatworks
First, an important announcement. No, we are not selling Fretwater Trading Cards. Or at least not yet. Off Center Harbor, a website out […]fretwaterboatworks.com
Lol, yep. I busted her up on the grand twice out of 3 trips, but nothing like that. If you look back in Brad's archives, right after I sold her to canex, they tore her entire Stern off in House Rock..paging @MNichols
After building two boats I could literally cut the parts, at least the hull ones and the gunwales, in a day. But then the next 100 plus days would be putting them together.I sank a guy’s sailboat and it costs a lot less than buying it lol. But yeah , it was a joke. Sinking boats cost us all…lol. Seems like you can’t sink one there anyway cause you gotta fly it out. So maybe get sunk boat insurance on your loaner. Build a cheap one with Home Depot plywood and cheap glass? Don’t even paint it just go run it. Why not? Lot of hullabaloo with the painted eggshells anyway Like thurston Howell the III just different. There’s a guy here that builds these terrible little boats and he’s done the grand a couple times so you can too! And if it goes bad dude up above told ya so. I just thought the whole thread was a joke really. Unless you could rent one from a big outfitters no one’s gonna let you “borrow “ one. Maybe your dad or brother but even that’s a long shot. There’s a guy in Colorado who’s selling cnc cut parts . That would be fast?
It’s a tough river world out there Marshall. To which Huerfano and Pemi can attest.She definitely wasn't a garage Queen when I owned her LOL... Thanks...
Especially when the water levels go down, but not down far enough to fully expose the sleepers...It’s a tough river world out there Marshall. To which Huerfano and Pemi can attest.
Indeed, I considered myself lucky that I only had minimal damage considering all of the miles that I put on her, it's a whole different skill set rowing a wooden boat, versus rowing a raftI once saw a wrecked dory in Winnie’s grotto on Lodore. Apparently it broke up on Winnie’s Rock, a very simple move, which proves anyone can have a bad day.
McKenzie's aren't the boat you want in grand canyon, been there, done that, never again... YMMV...Here ya go! Cheaper than a raft. Give you time to do some repairs/mods a painter job and yer off.

I would like to talk. Email me at [email protected] please. R.I've been thinking of selling mine. Doesn't get enough use and I have other drift boats. PM me if you want to talk. It's a pretty nice boat but not top of the line (restored older boat) so the price is reasonable View attachment 86165
