There are people who have an old canoe and can no longer take care of it. Meanwhile, there are people who want a canoe and do not have one.
For the price of the restoration (and the cost, if any, of acquiring the canoe from the current owner), you will own a fully restored wood-canvas canoe. We do not touch the canoe until you sign the work order. That way, the canoe is restored to your specifications. contact us.
