Nice Job, I have a Raddinson which is similiar . your front end needs some weight in it when you are solo.

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

Awesome! Yes, definitely learned that after the first few paddles, or I will try sitting closer to the middle.

[@MackinNC1]

@@EasternOntarioAdventure yes or sit in the front seat facing the rear seat. I do thta in my raddinson which puts be closer to the middle.

Hell yeah Doyle. So cool to see the behind the scenes of this project come to life, what a transformation! Your words at the end hit me hard, truer words have never been spoken. Great video brother, very well done.

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

Thanks buddy, but I can’t wait for the ice to come through!

Loved this video man. Such a fulfilling adventure to take a canoe and turn it into something great and catch a fish. Great story telling too man. 10/10

Excellent job!

[@SylvainFluet]

very nice rebuild, love the color. I just bought a Sportspal 14 feet transom, awesome boat (my daughter call it "le ca-noupe", an hybrid between a canoe and a boat). I will try to make memories too !

Sweet ride, eh! Great stuff...keep 'er goin

[@charleslefebvre5515]

Great job. I have one of these I fixed leaks on last year. This spring I want completely reseal the outer seams and then give it a coat of paint too. Also going to install a wood yoke and seats as well. Gonna try making my seats so we'll see what that's like. It's always nice to see someone take something that someone else sees no value in and reintroduce life into it. Just curious if you're mainly going to solo why didn't you position the seat a bit more to the bow/front? It would've let the canoe sit a bit flatter on the water, wouldn't it? I also started to use a kayak paddle when I'm alone in my canoe and love it.

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

Dude, that hair!!! Why cut those beautiful locks lol nice work on the restoration. I hope you make lots of new memories and film some trips!

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

I’m super excited to take it on trips! And the hair growth has been real 😂 but might be time to go

[@trifepstar]

Sweet job on the restoration 🔥jokes name forsure but I'd bet you'll get skunked less often than not 👍

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

Haha thanks! The skunk is definitely touch and go 😂

[@MackinNC1]

what is the green stuff you pit on the seams?

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

It's tape, I covered the holes with tape and the used epoxy to cover that!

[@corysmith4126]

What did u use for those patches?

[@EasternOntarioAdventure]

Quick dry epoxy mix, I tried a spray on flex seal but it didn’t work so great.
