Al, used canoes generally go for about 2/3 the retail price (with the
usual caveats...highly sought after models may go for a bit more, or
boats in immaculate condition or boats that come with some
accessories...models with little demand or in well used condition go
for less, etc).
I believe a new Quetico 17 runs about $800 (you may want to check
that), so the 2/3 retail calculation would be $480, although the
market price for used aluminum canoes is probably less than the
"normal" 2/3 retail more common for plastic or composite canoes.
A used canoe is worth whatever someone will pay for it; maybe ask
$400-$450 and be willing to negotiate.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
