I like Wooden Boats. and 914's

I have an Old Town Wood Canoe (photo in storage) & will try to figure out a way to load it on my 914 this summer.

This is the wood one (photo) I get a woodie over.

No Rust. Just Rot

This is a picture of my friend's 914 MANY years ago.

I think we forget how small our cars are until we load up a small boat.

History
Established in 1793, Lowell's Boat Shop is the oldest continuously operating boat shop
in America and is cited as the birthplace of the legendary fishing dory.
Located on the North bank of the Merrimack River, skilled craftsmen continue to build
wooden boats in the Lowell tradition on the property purchased by founder Simeon Lowell in the 1700s.

Us guys in MI have clear no salt water, you guys in Mass have salt water to rust your oars

Maybe you could anchor it to the rear fog light...

Merry Christmas, Tom!

Oh!

What an awesome boat!

Hi Guys & Merry Christmas to everyone.

Interesting story on my "Old Town Wood Canoe" 16' OTCA loaded with options. We believe it's the last factory Indian Design canoe out of the Old Town factory. Old Town had to bring back a retired old guy to paint the Indian Design on our OTCA canoe. We received delivery in late fall 1992 and I had a local Indian Chief do a an Indian dance blessing for $50 bucks at the lakes edge (Wish I had a photo). We didn't have time to put it in the water and it's been stored all these years.
I hope & will put it on the 914 next year for it's first water dip in the lake.
Economy 914 with an economy wood canoe. ConeDogger & Orthoiz beat this & start with a Rear Fog Light.

Wooden boats! Now you got me interested! I've been sailing these for years and years - since I was in my teens.

Sadly, I can not comment advise you on how to transport the boat. Overhere it's not allowed to put a towbar on the car. Porsche's fault: they didn't introduce the car with a possible towbar set up, so the Ministery of Transport will not allow an aftermarket set-up.

If you can put a towbar on your Teener, I would strongly recommend that!






The boat pictured here is a Dutch design Valk (Falcon); a boat built from waterproof plywood. In fact, Bruynzeel the company that introduced waterproof plywood in the '30s designed and built a boat to prove its quality.

Not a boat behind the 914. More behind the Volvo and nowadays the Honda CR-V.

How about my Shellback behind the only thing I have older than the 914's...
