    Old Town Penobscot 17

    A couple of updates: I used some Flood Penetrol on the faded hull. It turned out pretty good. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/flood-penetrol-before-and-after.131212/ I also finished rewebbing the bow seat. I still need to remove, revarnish and web the stern seat.

    Flood Penetrol - Before and After

    I brought another canoe home from storage last week. It is the Old Town Penobscot 17 that I bought a couple of years ago for a hundred bucks. The sun was shining this morning and I found some Flood Penetrol left by the previous owner of our house. I have read many recommendations by @Glenn...

    Thoughts on an Esquif Heron 15

    It is very dangerous to look through the facepage marketplace. An Esquif Heron 15 popped up within a reasonable driving distance and what appears to be a great price. It seams that it is a cut down version of their Prospecteur 15. Does anyone have any experience with this canoe? I am 6'-1"...

    Happy Birthday, Jack Kerouac (1922-69)! ✍🏻📖🛣️

    I have done two trips on Ross Lake in the Northern Cascades. I still haven't hiked to the Desolation Peak. Each time something came up that changed our plans. Desolation Peak (Washington) - Wikipedia https://share.google/iqjMuiJinzMD6obxb

    It really is a great design. I wonder what boats in current production are comparable? I would guess the Advantage is one. Any others?
