Very nice work on the rebuild.
Yeah, the hull on the CL boat has a few kinks that may be a problem.

There's an old square stern at the JAP end of Seagull/JAP portage. It looked functional. It's a bit dented up. It's tucked under a rock ledge a little ways back on the on the portage. I think the last registration was from the 70's.

I repaired a few boats with the wood rotted out on them most I have got for free the most I paid 20 dollars for one.
If some one gave this one I would work on it but one would never recoup ones time or money.

snapped pic of this one today free project canoe just needs a little love and TLC, no rust, still partially floating after 15 years, all original, a real steal...If you get this one done there is another about three miles upstream that I can point you to that's been wrapped around a bridge piling for the last 12 years...

Haha yeah it should be free. However it is always possible to hit a younger person who wants a project and doesn't know any better. Why not give it a go if you need the cash.

I don't mean to hijack the post, but here's a story about a friend, a retired art teacher/paddler/DNR field worker, who rescued an Old Town Pack canoe, and brought it back to life.

That's a big planter! I could grow a lot of flowers in it.

Ha! Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Even so, I'm still thinking it would be better served in the landfill.

We bought a similar one with same rotted out gunwales for $50 and have refurbished it. It is now our main BW canoe. But the hull on ours was in better shape than this one. $200 is seriously overpriced.

That would be a fun project. I wonder how the hull looks underneath.

Here's another CL special. Looks like a real steal. If the owner is a member here, no offense intended, but he should be paying someone to haul it away instead of trying to sell it for $200. I would be embarrassed to list something like this.

That's an interesting and informative article. Took some ingenuity to get that done.

I like free stuff.

It may be free but it’s a square stern. Otherwise it looks great.

I could fix it without too much trouble. That said, i wouldn't pay for it. If it was free, i'd consider going to get it and adding it to the project list.

Seats look pretty good. Start there and rebuild, replace the rest... no sweat...
