Thanks
I've forwarded this info to my brother and I appreciate your quick response. We have mixed feelings about the factory glass but he said it's gorgeous and couldn't resist. He has been looking for his own wooden canoe for some time as this is somewhat of a family tradition. My father & I both have vintage "hw's" and I have an ongoing "de" restoration. We have always believed in the virtues of filled canvas over cedar. Its interesting that Old Town , as well as smaller builders, would offer fiberglass as an option (even if it does show off the pretty wood) Does anyone have experience with the quality/longevity of Old Town clear fiberglass? Im also curious; does old town reserve the best planked (wood clarity & craftmanship) for glassing ?
