Hi folks. My name is Frank, and I live out in the boondocks south of Albany NY. A power boater most of my life, my current ride is a 50 year old classic fiberglass tunnel hull racer. Many years ago I acquired a 1947 C&S H&W model Old Town canoe that had been fiberglassed in the early 70's. Over the years I've pecked at the fiberglass, which did not adhere very well, and got most of it off, so I think the planking is fine (not resin-saturated). The canoe, a saltwater/big water model, is very light as it is now, and needs some major work, at least from my perspective. I do have the history of it, build sheet and brochure from Old Town. I have set it up on blocks temporarily in my small pole barn and hope to start cleaning it up this week and figuring out what needs to be done. Then I'll be back with questions!
Kids are all grown and gone, so it's just me and the little woman and our shnoodle, Buckley. I'd like to get the canoe done within the next year, but with my hands full of other projects and a full-time job, that may be just a dream. We'll see.
