How much should I be ready to pay for a used Patriot two-seater fiberglass canoe in good condition? It doesn't come with paddles or life vests, but it looks to be in pretty good condition. I've got no idea what the typical price for a used canoe is, though! Please help! I want to put in an offer but I do not want to over-pay or under-bid...

Thanks for the responses. I felt much more informed by the time I went to check it out today. Turns out there is a 3" exterior crack below the water line. Luckily it's horizontal and should be easy enough to patch. The keel is in good shape as are the seats, but the center support bar will have to be replaced. I think I'll make it wider and include some cup and rod holders. I only paid $50 after seeing the damage, and I think it's worth taking a shot at patching her up.
