Couple questions about canoes
Hi, I just bought a fibreglass canoe (13.5') and had a couple of
questions. The first one is this, the boat right now has a beautiful paint job, and you always see canoes scratched up on the bottom from beaching, and river beachings on stones and such. Is there anything that I could put on the bottom that could protect my hull better from scratches and dings than what is just on there now? Any kind of special antiscratch paint, or anything i could buy to cover the bottom from dings and scratches? If so, where do i get this stuff from (Im in Kitchener Ontario one hour west of Toronto)? The second, I notice that canoes are extremely unstable as one shift of your body the wrong way means "hello water". I have noticed on the internet things called "Canoe Stabilizers" and was wondering if anyone knows a cheap (price, not necessarily quality) way to build one of these that is simple for a novice to build? I dont want it permanently in the hull, something i could remove would be great. I want to use it mostly for fishing stability. Anyone know where i can get free plans for these things? or can offer me some tips as to what materials to use, ie. for the floats, the arms, how to attach one to the other, etc? Any advice would be great. sorry about the long questions. Anyways, happy boating -Jay. |
