discovery scout canoe for sale

[Soloman]

Ive finally talked swmbo into selling my disco scout.
Ive a new nova craft so the disco has only been out in the last 6 months once.
Im looking for £300 if i cant get that ill keep her,she is old with the usual scratchs but nothing major.
Id consider a swap plus cash if anyone had a good touring kayak sitting about.

I move to Scotland in September and, if by some miracle it is still available, I will be in touch!

My mate in my sea kayak club is looking for a 2nd hand boat. Will email him the details and PM you if he wants to contact you. He lives in Portobello.

Just emailed the chap.

 

[Soloman]

Just a thought Nick,can you ask him if he knows of any 2nd hand kayaks going.

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Ok, but we are sea kayakers, only really these that come up. Never seen a SOT up for sale before.

I used to have an OT Scout, and if I had the space to keep it, I'd grab this one because I regret selling mine.

If you want a bombproof, high capacity canoe for river travel, then this would suit you well. If flat water is your thing, as long as you have a decent load, then it'll perform as well as most multi-purpose canoes.

Cheers, Michael.

Sheee hight!
Flatwater be damned - I used mine for years as my Solo whitewater boat!
Even ran the Upper Wye and the Usk in it - including Hell Hole and Mill Falls!
A great and DRY whitewater boat (even with a big load!)
Still got mine and use it occassionally - but I mainly use my other baots now....

Ive got Cumbrians and have to say i love it to bits. These boats are bomb proof believe me, its been based off hard steel edge canal walls, scrapped along rocks and buffed the odd kayaker lol and not a ding or scratch left. At this price a bargain

 

[Soloman]

Yes Nick after my last visit up north a few weeks ago i changed my mind and decided a touring/forgiving sea kayak will fit the bill better.
Budget of £700 when disco sold,ive had a go in loads of boats and like the more sedate touring style like the easky 15/17 and the contour exped.
Thats new but id look at one 2nd hand,and i think plastic as the boats are outside and it will be a sin to keep a composite boat out the back.
Regards Soloman.

I would like to see some pictures please as I'm interested in buying your canoe. I did ask yesterday but nothing yet : (

 

[sasquatch]

I can't believe this hasn't sold yet! I'm very tempted but don't have the cash at the moment. I've even been thinking about selling my much loved 1275 Gt Mini lately to fund a canoe purchase.If your canoe doesn't sell soon I might get my car on ebay. I can't really see it hanging around long though.
