Default Need suggestion on ordering & shipment of gunwales (or make my own?)


wrote in message
oups.com...
I'm located in Phoenix Arizona.

Old Town's website doesn't list many retailers here, and NO repair
facilities. One of the retailers listed recently stopped carrying Old
Town, so I am left with REI and Sports Authority, two big companies I'd
rather not deal with. I don't know of any local outfitters.

Thanks

Contact Donnie Dove at Canyon Reo in Flagstaff (you can google his website
as easily as I can). He deals with Mad River and a few other canoe
companies, and with his clout he might be able to get OldTown to send him
some rails.

Conversely, you could just make some ash gunnels yourself. Its pretty easy,
and looks much better than the aluminum or plastic ones that come stock.
