I think it was somewhere on this site I saw a reference to tinting epoxy with paint. I happen to have some Old Town green oil base boat paint and am repairing an old Tripper with G flex. It seems wrong to me but I'd like to hear from those more knowledgeable than me. Thanks, Larry

I bought a 1975 OT Royalex Tripper at a yard sale for $100 and want to fix it up and sell it. Both ends had been repaired ( pretty roughly) and i sanded most of the rough spots but when i went to remove a few small places that had started to de-laminate, I discovered that though they were...

Now that I am pretty sure that I have a Royalex canoe, I'll proceed with repairing it with G flex, but what about paint? I happen to have some 40 year old Old Town green canoe paint that seems to be still viable. I bought it for a wooden canoe that I built. I'm sure it will stick to the epoxy...

Thanks for all the good info. Much appreciated!

I could have been misinformed about how to interpret the serial #. I read that the last 2 numbers were the year. # ends in 75H. My other Tripper just end with 85, no letter, and it was embossed into the surface

Here are some pics of my old town sailing canoe. I bought it at a yard sale planning to clean up the repairs and sell it. No mast or sail and I'll probably sell it without the sailing gear

Could not find any #'s other than the partial pictured in my post. The bow and stern decks had a faint "Old Town" logo but no decal or number

So, The "Chipewyan" Tripper measure 17'-2" L and 37" W. It is possible that I'm off 2" on L since I was measuring alone and had to sight from tape to canoe end, but the 38" W is accurate since I was able to hook tape on one gunnel and measure to the other. Is there any possibility it could be...

If it is a 1975 Tripper, would it be Royalex?

I just bought on that does not have a mast or sail but will take some pics later of the inside and that parts that came with it. Sending this now so i don't have to search for your post later

I bought this canoe at a yard sale and need help identifying it. It is 17'-4" long, 38" at the widest. The serial # badge has been partially broken but it ends with 75H, which previous research leads me to think it was built in 1975. I'd like to know which model it is and what it is made of...
