Obviously, since this is my first post, I'm new to QJ.  I've taken a couple of trips now with my 'brothers' from church, so I'm looking for some of my own equipment.

I know Souris River has a great reputation, and they are light/strong for portaging.  I have an opportunity to get a 16 foot Souris River Quetico, 1996 model.  It appears to be in good shape, and seller is the 2nd owner.  He knows canoes well and says that it is in very good shape for its age.  I've seen pictures, looks pretty good, but obviously not pristine.  Is it worth the $600 asking price?
