Hey Michael, that's a pretty odd-looking "Otca"! Are you sure you want to canvas the one in the photos?

You call that a sail?

Michael,
Al Bratton @ Woodstrip Watercraft is close to Philadelphia. He's been restoring w/c canoes for a long time. When you refer to recanvassing, do you mean disassemble, oil, recanvas, fill, paint, and reassemble? If so, the cost could easily be $1200-$1400. The outside stems, rub rail, and two tone paint job all take extra time over the usual canoe.
If you are going to do the disassembling, oiling, filling, painting, and reassembling then $300-$400 will probably be enough. If you can get together with one of the chapters, they might do it for a project for just the cost of the canvas. Gil
