A couple more pictures It looks like a 1983 model. It's not kevlar. Did they use Tuff-weave on these? The seller said he bought a couple of years ago from an older guy. He thinks he had it possibly since new and used it fir fishing. Someone glassed in some anchor points.

I am pretty sure it's fiberglass. I will get a better look later today.

I picked it up this morning. The seller brought it to work with him so it was only about a 20 minute drive. It is pretty much what I expected for the price. It has some gelcoat cracking, the patches on the keels are rough etc. The seller only used it a couple of times. His first trip out he and...

Welcome! I would personally just use soap and water and keep its natural patina. You can get acid washes specifically for marine aluminum hulls. These are probably better for thicker motor boat welded hulls but I am sure they would work. I have also seen some polished aluminum canoes. If you...

I hope you painted it! Edit: actually it is kind of cool. It tells the story of the canoe.

Thanks Allen. I may have to buy this thing. I didn't think it would last this long on the face page.

Decent weather and some free time so I did a little cleaning on the Penobscot. Lots of overspray on one side. I haven't decided how far I am going to take this restoration. I may just leave it for now. I haven't paddled this canoe yet.

Thank you for the information!

This thing is still available. I have never had a solo. Would this be stable enough to bring a small dog along?

Picked up my first Cold Handle today. Here it is cleaned and seasoned.

This series is a pretty good demonstration of the abuse Novacraft Tuff stuff can take.
