Canoe ID ?

[David Satter]

Older canoe possibly Royalex. I'm putting on new outwales and decks. After I cut off all the old steel screws
here's some photos any ideas? Thanks Not sure of the decal either.

It's a Thompson Royal-Craft (Cortland, NY) Royalite canoe built ca 1959-1961 or 1962. They used US Rubber's Royalex.

I used to have scans of a brochure but I can't find them. More here: https://fiberglassics.com/forum/main-forum/57738-early-fiberglass-thompson-boat-or-not-sure.html

I did the same thing to one of these many years ago.

Thanks Dan, Thats great! The owner will be happy.

It's going to look great!
But make sure the owner knows that Royalex canoes with wood gunwales (most have plastic) need to be protected from hard freezes.
