I had been looking for a 1648 Jon for three years with no success short of biting off a payment on a new one. I work for Waste Pro and while at the landfill I came across a gent throwing this one out. When I inquired about it he offered it to me for the taking, along with the trailer. Everyone that knows me understands that I’m a little outside the box but I do strongly believe in our creator and the way he works in our lives. He chooses the way to give you the information needed for us to be taken care of, but you have to listen. I took this event as his way of telling me that I had no further place in either a canoe or a kayak, and I thank Him for it regularly. It isn’t high sided but much safer than either of the other choices that were on my mind. It’s to our advantage to listen when spoken to.
