Ah, yes, another advantage of being single!  

By the way, I have a Pamlico that I consider my "canoe" and have used on the 
Peace River when the rest were in Grummans. 

PS: This was a used rental so I got it cheap, but then found out that 
paddling the Pamlico as a double was awful without a rudder - so that was an 
added expense.

Our friend who keeps selling and upgrading boats is on a different track from 
those of us who keep adding to our fleet (I have sold 3 - one I regretted); 
but it did make me think of something. 

It's worth buying well-known makes and models of boats that have a re-sale 
demand.  For example, one of our outfitters has a waiting list for his used 
Prisms.  Once you've bought a second-hand boat, you can pretty much get your 
money back when you sell it.
