10/7/25 – Drumroll please……it’s time to begin the annual used canoe sale! We sell our canoes after three rental seasons, so this year we’ll have a couple of models of both tandem and three-person kevlar canoes. Tandem canoes available are the Northstar Seliga or the Wenonah Minnesota 2. Three-person canoes for sale are Northstar B19s and Wenonah Minnesota 3s.

Fans of our used canoes will know that we typically refurbish each sale canoe individually, you can read more about that process here. We will begin refurbishing canoes towards the end of this month, and will list them on our website as they are finished. Dan can do about 3 canoes at a time, and it takes about 3-4 days for the whole process, so they’ll become available on a rolling basis.

Don’t want to wait? You don’t have to! Starting today, canoes are available on-site, as is. The price reflects that they have not been put through the refurb process, with the listing price at least $200 less than if it was refurbished. The high end price for un-refurbished canoes that are in excellent condition is $1,600. Any patches or other repairs that were made during the canoe’s rental life will be disclosed and the price adjusted down accordingly.

So how does one get one of these as-is canoes? These canoes are for sale on site here at Sawbill only, we won’t be putting them online. If you’re interested in a particular model, give us a call and we’ll pull a few aside for you to look at. Once purchased, you will need to take the canoe home with you. We also sell foam blocks and tie down straps to help facilitate this. These canoes are all slated to be refurbished eventually, so as Dan begins work on them fewer will be available at this discounted price.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call! We’re around between 8am-7pm for the next week, and will move to 9am-4pm hours on Monday, October 13th.
