The Right Thing To Do.
Hard to argue.

My first (and last!) canvas restoration required 314 hours of my time (the
sponsons added some complexity over a normal job). I spent about $600 on
materials, including new decks, stems, 9 ribs, and 10 half ribs purchased
from Old Town.

I am hoping to have a professional do it for about $600 US or $1,000 Cdn.

I'd rather be paddling than puddering.

To see a cedar strip canoe I built, you can look at the pictures on my
auction at:

Nice detail!! I suspect even my profession builder will no be doing that
kind of work!


Regards.
