I'll throw my 2 cents in. I'm a fan of G-Flex, been using it for years. I'd be tempted to somehow separate the break in the gunwale, maybe a V cut?, and then jam some thickened G-Flex in between the break, put some Peel Ply on it and on top of that tape it down. My only reservation is the how...

This is a test

I can only give input from rebuilding 2 MR Malecites, 16' 6" so close to the Merrimack, so not the same boat but kind of the same set up. I ended up moving the front seat back from a crazy short measurement which I don't have off hand to something like 51" front of seat to 62" back of seat. At...

Large group trip put on by Mr. McCrea and I had never been there before. I was entrusted with the beers. Somehow I got splintered off from the group into waters I didn't know. In order to get back to the group in the dark of night I had to get some courage. Liquid courage got me through...

I've gotten two but was innocent of one...I swear!

Happened to me in Mass. Tried to fight it but that didn't go so well!

I think I could have written some of this Alan! Since I broke my back and struggled with the hopeful come back I came to realize that the trips I use to do weren't going to happen despite a surgery to fix some of the problems. I still get out for minor trips but the days of long trips are most...

$12.50 and a 30 pack of Natural Ice! to take it off your hands. I ain't fussy!

Since I had reasonable success with Kydex on one of the last rebuilds I really wanted a new deck plate for the Bell Rob Roy, my go to boat. I used the first wooden deck I built as a plug but was lazy and didn't add 3/4" pieces on the sides going vertical to help form the Kydex. I figure when I...

Latremorej, Can you shoot me a PM with your address?

Nice job Dave! Nice to meet Cookie! ;-)

I remember handing Topher a pole for the first time. dang, he was a natural at it and fun to watch trying to figure it out! Those were some fun days!

Same with my MR Courier!

Looks like one of the most iconic canoes is not going to be produced anymore. I'm glad I own two of them, selling one, and have come to love this hull over almost twenty years of paddling it! https://www.newburykayak.com/blog/20...river-malecite

Well after a snafu with Blogger I finally got the rest of the story done! I like Kydex a lot and can see adding some kind of press to make the process easier but of course that would add a whole new level of headaches but might be worth looking into. http://scooter-bangortoportland.blogspot.com/

Sold today to someone who will take it to a good home! Spent more time talking canoeing than about the boat sale. How good can that be! Real joy to see it go to someone who's going to use it vs seating in my barn collecting dust! Good deal!

Mason, I'll try to repost the pics, didn't realize they came out the "tiny"! TrailBlaser I believe it is around 57 pds.

Adirondack/Stowe Canoe For Sale 09-21-2019, 02:23 PM Putting this back up again as I've posted elsewhere. Need to make some room in the barn and shop! Funny how all those areas fill up quick when you collect canoes! I've decided that this boat I rebuilt is not one I'm going to paddle much...

Maybe my Kydex project!
