Howdy Craigslist Phoenix shows a Dagger Sojourn for sale. I have communicated via text with the seller, very briefly. He says it's very near new and wants $650 for it. I have always wanted a Royalex solo canoe so I'm interested but there is a couple of problems. One is I don't like the dark...

Have the old fiberglass canoe all sanded down and want to use a HVLP gun to apply the paint. Never used this paint before, have heard to thin it 10% at least and not go over 60 psi. Anyone with experience with this paint? Thank you in advance for any tips.

Finally got it finished, time to start a new project.

I picked up a Katahdin 12 fiberglass. It was on offerup for $200 and seller let me have it for $175 because I found a crack in the hull. And a lot of gouges. And rotten wood. And faded gelcoat. I have never seen anything like this thing. With a Stanley tape measure this boat is a whopping 41...

It was listed on Craigslist, a Old Town Penobscot 17 but the ad said fiberglass with a seven inch crack. I was the first caller and the gentleman insisted that it was fiberglass even after I told him it had to be Royalex. So I drove the hundred miles to see it and did buy it because I have been...

Very nice guy in Oro Valley, Az gave me his used but very usable Blackhawk Covenant. It is a solo, and apparently had some kind of fiberglass kneeling saddle affixed to the bottom, however that saddle is gone. I will mount a seat very low, maybe just a inch or two off the floor. I took the boat...

Hello, I found a beater Old Town Pack from the 1970's. The plastic gunnels are brittle and sunburned badly so the plan is to re-new with Ash. I need to steam bend them to fit the wide, curvy and short hull. I have a pot but can't get enough steam with charcoal briquettes. I have never steamed...

This old canoe appears to have it's wood strips arranged 90 degrees off the norm. How can this be strong? https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/a...155730235.html

Howdy, Does a canoe move through the water smoother, easier and faster with a brand new paint job on the hull? My old Sawyer with it's faded, chalky, heavily scratched up gel coat seems kinda doggy to me. I'm doing a little body work, and a few repairs then it's getting a new coat of red. I hope...

Howdy, Trying to find out a little info before I go look at it. Not finding much on Google. I know there is a lot of knowledge here so I'll run it by you canoe experts. The ad says Wenonah Jensen Kevlar at 17 feet length. I called the lady selling it and she says it is a "pack" canoe and only...

Howdy, My 1993 Mad River Malecite has a couple places where the kevlar is coming apart, sort of. The flotation chambers on each end have a approximately 2 inch diameter spot right in the middle where the overlaying kevlar has detached from the underlying foam. It's like a bubble, I can push it...

Mad River Malecite in kevlar showed up on craigslist late last night, in Tucson. I called at 7am sharp this morning and arranged to see it at noon. It's nice, seller says he bought it new in Anchorage, many years ago. Hull is Turquoise and has the oiled wood trim. This one has the center solo...

Howdy, I have found a 1984 Sawyer Autumn Mist solo canoe that needs a little repair here and there. Trouble is I don't know what material this particular boat was made with. I hear they could be either glass or Kevlar or a combination of the two. It is painted inside and out. Might have been...

Not much of a forum person, but I see this one is about the age old tradition of canoeing, so here I am. Currently own a Old Town Stillwater, an Old Town Canadienne, and my new/old one a Sawyer Autumn Mist, which just followed me home this weekend. You can see all my boats are antiques, like...
