Looking for a tandem canoe
Can be a ww boat or a river tripper. Beaters are fine I am willing to repair. Like something for my 2yr old daughter and I can paddle in. And something I can carry by myself.

Put a kids saddle in an Encore

That would be great if I had an Encore. Kid trying to nap in an Ocoee does not go so well.

Were you the one that got my yellow Sunburst? That should be a really good tandem boat for you and your young daughter. I wish I kept it for me to take my 9-year old daughter out.

Re: Looking for a tandem canoe
I'll be selling a Mad River ME soon...asking $250. It's a beater, but doesn't need any work to get It on the water. I went through the same thing with my daughter so I made the thwart closer to the bow a kneeling thwart and padded the area she would kneel on. It worked fine until she approached 80# or so. So for now It's set up for a solo paddler using a padded kneeling thwart, knee pads, thigh straps and foot blocks. Or It can work as a tandem with one very small paddler up front. The good thing about that boat is that It is pretty bare-bones...so You should be able to move hardware around to fit Your needs. The wood gunnels are in good shape, replaced once. It also has bow & stern airbags with lacing. Let Me know what You think...It could work OK for Your needs(?).

Awesome parent + kid boat

I had set it up so my pedestal could be moved from a solo position back to a tandem location about 8" back, but have left it back (glued it down) as I just don't paddle it solo anymore.
