Dreamer	06/26/2021 08:51AM   This is a 40 year old kevlar Sundowner. But the front seat busted loose, slammed to the bottom and tore through the hull. How do I repair it? Also, I'm thinking of a new paint job on the whole canoe. I think she's got some life in her yet. How do I go about this? What materials do I use?
