Glad it's a small glasser project. That way you'll KNOW that's it for rebuilding glass boats;)

Should I start a canoe restoration thread Jas? LOL
Maybe I can extend the hull!

Glasser Canoe - Need your help WOG and glassers. :)

Glasser Canoe - Need your help WOG and glassers. :)

It's an 12 foot "American Fiber-Lite"
It has a very minor crack right in the middle bottom. The PO said it's still useable, and you can canoe all day, and simply scoop out some water every now and then. So, can anyone recommend how to tackle this project? Are you out there WOG? I read in another post ( http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=437694 ) where you said to just use epoxy resin. But, with the crack, I'm thinking I might want to reinforce it with a layer of 1708, or maybe put a metal pipe down the middle and glass it in. All ideas welcome.

Thansk!
