Red's Tremblay

Funny thing happened this week, PhotoBucket reached out in email to see if I would be willing to resurrect my account with them to regain access to all my photos, however, they said there were only 49 left and I wasn't going to give them $80 for so few, so I told them to just delete the account. In the process of doing so they allowed me to download the photos and as it tured out, all 49 were from this canoe repair so after I get them all re-edited I will post them so the photo content is back.

This particular canoe after rebuild went back to Rob, then to us for repair, then stayed in Ear Falls a couple of years, then back to us for further repair and new canvas and then it went down the road.

It doesn't appear that I am able to edit the existing thread to remove the photobucket links so I will just add the photos here as I get them edited. The first ones are from Rob who got the boat and did the tedious task of removing all the fibreglas at which point he decided it was too much for him and gave it to us.

I don't remember which the other canoe is in the last photo.

Crud. I didn't think you'd be able to edit and replace the pics. Glad that you're adding them in though. This thread predated me and, although I enjoyed the read, it's nice to see the pictures (helluva project for sure)

I dig the tractor style seat lol. I've still got my mint tremblay, it's a great canoe, I don't use it enough.

Home now from the road trip, will get back to editing the photos.
Gamma, that was 2014, I think the third or fourth cedar/canvas repair we did. I love doing it, I just take my time and enjoy the process.
I need to find a space where I can get the Morris into for the long term restoration now that I am semi-retired.

Mem, do you still build a new stripper every Spring? Why would you use a Trembly when you have a dozen other better canoes?
