Wow. Thank you for that information. I have 1 more question. I'm considering selling this canoe. It probably needs minor cosmetic work. Like trim, and seats need to be given a little TLC. What do you think a fair selling price would be?? I have no clue. The canoe was a given to me a few years ago, and I no longer use it. Thank you in advance.

The comments at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?57 should help with the pricing question. An advertisement at https://www.woodencanoe.org/classifieds is usually the quickest way to find a good new home for it. The page at https://www.woodencanoe.org/ad-instructions has the instructions. Good luck with the sale,
