Unfortunately, new inwales etc will be in order. Fiberglass is off, inside just cleanly stripped…

Chris, what is the weird checkerboard pattern on the outside of the hull? Was the fiberglass only attached there instead of everywhere?

 

[Michael Grace]

Wow, Chris - a plaid canoe with the most "interesting" stem band treatment I've ever seen!

 

[Dan Lindberg]

Is the "checkerboard" a filler to keep the resin from going into the tack holes?

 

[chris pearson]

Its led or something else. I presume to not allow seepage of the fiberglass resin. Although I will have to deal with it in the planking seems, Im not sad that they did it before fiberglass! I'm glad this resided out here in Holland, Michigan!
