Hello all, I am new to the forum and am seeking input.
I am considering a purchase of a used Navarro Loon that has been stored improperly. The pictures say alot so I will post those to begin. The two spots of exterior damage is the sum of that, however, there are several spots of finish peeling and vernier bubbling on the interior. I think the ribs are cherry wood. The gunwales and thwarts and seats are all solid.
I do have four yrs of bonding experiance ( composite helicopter blade repair) so I do understand bonding processes somewhat.
My question is, should I run from this one? Or is this practical to attempt.
The plus side is it is priced less than a fourth of new cost of same canoe.
Thank you for any help.
