I just bought what I think is an Old Town wood canvas canoe serial # 15445 17 I would like info on the canoe
I need help finding info on how to fix the canoe & what the original material are
1) I need to re-caine the seats - I want to use the right material & design
2) The canvas is in good shape, there is one small 3/4" rip that need to be repaired - need to learn how to do it
3) The paint is flaking and needs to be redone before I use the canoe - need to learn how to do it
4) I have to make a gunnel repair, something chewed a 8" section on the inside gunnel at the mid point - I don't know is I should scarf joint it back together to replace the damaged section - I need advice & ID the material (looks like red cedar)
5) The gunnels, seats & thwarts were painted black at some point - should I remove it and refinish? If yes how?
Thanks in advance, Jordan
