^That's kinda what I want mine to look like, sans flags and with cooler upholstery.

The upholstery didn't look that great. Standard vinyl crap they put in boats these days. Mind you the restoration was quite good.

Cool project, 4X4.


I also immediately thought Diversity for a name for her once she's all prettied up; Foreboding ain't bad either.


I'd love to own an old, old wooden ship when I grow up...

that old restored boat is pretty sick, classic chevy-esq parts all over it make it pretty tight.

I've done a little boat finishing. This is my canoe. I built it a few years ago.

PM if you'd like to discuss anything even remotely associated to boat building. Your project sounds great.

Wow! Nice. Add a yoke and it would be my dream canoe.

I restored a cedar and canvas canoe built by a Quebec company in the 60's. It's terrible to solo and the rivers here are way too shallow compared to Ont and PQ and I am scared of ruining it on rocks.

I miss the canoe trips we used to do in Algonquin and Tremblant Parks.

This looks like an amazingly cool project. That canoe is really really nice as well.
