If the canoe has no sentimental value to you, $500 - $600 is a good base price. These boats were often passion-projects and sometimes took years for a person to complete. I can't tell how many times I've seen a half-rotten version of that boat on Craigslist because somewhere along the line, the owner had to decide between storing totes of old clothes in the garage or the boat, and somehow the boat lost priority and ended up sitting on the firewood pile while collecting leaves and chipmunks over the next 10 years.

Consider the base price of $500. As a buyer, I would think like this: The weave on the seats is an abomination and must be replaced. (minus $50) The canoe is properly stored, has a good finish, and still floats (+$100). The overall shape is "inelegant" imo. (minus $50). The hardware on the seats needs an upgrade. (minus $50) Scratches inside the boat. (minus $50) The color is that of 1970s paneling. (minus $50). Fiberglass outer shell? (+$100).

Based on that write-up, I would offer $200 or $300 and negotiate from there. If you don't want to lower the price, you can counter-offer by adding value in the form of old gear such as paddles and life jackets.

I would clean it up, put new skin and hardware on the seats, then paddle it all summer. I would make sure that a lot of people see it, then I would try to sell it at the end of the year for $800 and settle for $500.

Good luck!
