September 23, 2011. Canoapche is NOT FOR SALE - another close call. Click here to go back to Canopache's page

Hi Ron,

The beer is cold, the ribs are ready to go, the friends are on tap for tomorrows mating of Canopache with her trailer.  I adjusted the carriage to specs gleaned from the website and am excited by the prospect of seeing progress!  Friends have offered to park her without  charge so that I can hold on to the girl for a few years till  I really can apply myself to her restoration.   One of the main reasons for placing her on the market was the cost of keeping her  where she was.

Thanks for friends in this world who are there when one needs!  Please remove the notice of sale from the "For Sale"  page. Yippee!!!!!!!   I'll forward pics after the deed is done.  Thanks

Eric

p.s.  Phew, that was close!

Hi Ron,

I am sad to say that I am selling Canopache.  I have way too much going on for the next few years to devote the amount of time she needs.  This is quite the difficult decision as she has been a part of my dreams for so many years.  I appreciate your posting so others of like mind may see her availability.  Thanks for all you do!

Sadly, Eric

This boat needs skilled attention but the trailer is ready to go! Changes in situation make it difficult for me to continue with restoration.
