Location: Stewartville, MN | Not really a muskie boat but you guys seem to know about EVERYTHING.
My 87 Year old Grandpa has an old (1950's) aluminum Grumman Sportsman canoe. This is the type that has the square stern and is about 12-14 ft long. It is not just a square stern canoe it has a fully square stern like a "real" boat. It has three keels. It has three seat and can handle three adults (three seats).
Well I want to buy this from him. I have a Lund Angler 1700 and a Michicraft square stern canoe. I want this boat because of the memory I have of Grandpa and I fishing out of it. We would fish four in this boat with one sitting on a milk crate. My dad would take this to Cananda when he has a kid. I want this boat to take my kids on some electric only lakes in my area.
I need to find a "fair" price. Any help would be greatly appreited. | |

| After going back beyond a certain time, most boats on the NADA guide, are listed at around $500. Now, I'm pretty sure that model was probably less than $400 brand new, in the 50's. Sentimental value is probably extremely high, to both you and your grandpa, so it's kind of difficult to set a value on this boat. Like a lot of things, it's worth what you are willing top pay for it. Maybe let Grandpa tell you what he would like for it, and then go from there? Maybe his first offer is agreeable to you, and it will save some haggling. | |

| The grumman sportboat is ageless. Older ones sell for more than original purchase price ,depending on shape. If the boat is in good shape it could be worth as much as seven or eight hundred dollars. | |
