Submitted: 07-05-1999 by James I purchased my guide special in 1965, when I was a young man. I just put a new coat of red paint on the "old girl".Now she looks like new.I wish I had a dollar for every mile we have gone together..lots of good times,for both me and my 4 kids.Kids are all grown, and now it will be the grandkids turn, to learn all about the wonders of canoe trips.You ask how do I rate the "Sawyer"?...How do you rate an old friend..?To me, she is more than a 10.That old canoe has been part of our lives for more than 34 years,and still going strong. When I`m gone she will be passed on to my son and his son. With any luck she will last for another 34 years. |
