Hello,
I also posted this question to the strippers discussion forum.
Being brand new to this site, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question so if there is one more appropriate please direct me there. I have the chance to purchase a wood strip canoe as a project. Some of the fiberglass has air trapped and needs to be sanded and re-applied. I'm not terribly nervous about this part of the project (I've been screwing up woodworking projects for many years
and have reached the point where once in a while things turn out how I imagined).
My question is more about usage after I've completed the project. I'm from Minnesota and want to use the canoe for trips up to the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and am wondering/concerned about the durability of wood strip & fiberglass canoes used in a rugged wilderness area on trips with multiple portages, etc.
Any comments, advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bigdee
