Not a terrible price I don't think but not a steal. I'd be tempted to buy it just because of the trapping connection, LOL, go set some Herter's traps for muskrats out of my Herter's canoe, lol.

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. What is it worth to you sir? Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Having been in the market several years ago and in an area with an abundance of canoes I would say that around here $300 for a decent aluminum canoe is the market price. That could be a tub of a canoe that is 3’ across the middle and you regret paddling it or it could be the sleekest aluminum designed canoe ever built.
The above pictured canoe appears to be a much sleeker design for an aluminum canoe. If you want it for trapping or waterfowl hunting the paint job is a decent bonus offsets the asking price. I would get it in water and see how stable or fast it is. Remember, it’s a balance between speed and stability; you never get both in the same boat. If you enjoy the paddling characteristics it could well be a good price.

price , is ok nothing special.
looking at that picture , it is solid under the seats .
How does one Kneel with a solid under seat?
Kneeling is a must for me , it may not be for every one.
but for me kneeling is how you feel the canoe and move with it .
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
