Apology if this post isn't appropiate as I think it's not technically a canoe but I have the opportunity to buy a very original Rhinelander guide boat from a good friend. The boat has seen extremely low use and has a 1970 johnson outboard. Previous owner had it fiberglassed on the exterior for ease of maintenance. It appears to be a beautiful boat but I have a couple of questions:
1) should I be concerned with the application of the fiberglass if well done? Is this an advantage and does it essentially eliminate the typical care required of swelling a wooden boat?
2) He did say, and I'm sure its a 1972, but I did not think Rhinelander was in existence as late as the 70's.
Thanks for any input you have....
