Mad River Courier on Denver Craigslist $800

[Eric Esche]

Mine is NOT for sale, but just saw this one on http://www.paddleswap.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Ash Gunnels, Cane seat, Kevlar skid plates, knee cups, float bags and of course the older desirable stronger Royalex.

Niche boat, rarely seen for sale and then they sell quickly. More "V" than a Freedom Solo, and deeper at 15" center depth, so it can carry more weight drier. Lighter than the Explorer 14 which was only made in Triple Tough construction and now dropped by Mad River. If I had not bought my Courier, I would be buying this one.

Have had others ask me to post if I saw one, so here it is.

Can give you the names and contact numbers of the folks who shipped my Courier here from Salem ORegon safely for $250. They are antiques shippers who do less than full load shipments and they are constantly adding shipments as they travel, so they are not fast, but if you are not in a hurry and worry more about it getting here safely, I would use them again.

Mad River Courier kevlar layup with wood trim.jpg

This is not the Courier for sale.
It is a Courier (in kevlar) that I owned & recently sold.
I'm sure a lot of paddlers have never even seen one.
Nice handling solo boat for a big old boy & a mound of gear.
Getting more & more difficult to find one in decent condition.
