    You did a superb job of outfitting your restored canoe for single-handed fishing! In my opinion, it's set up FAR better than most factory-built "fishing" canoes and kayaks.
    As an amateur boat-builder, I have just one suggestion for those who might be thinking about a similar restoration/conversion: It looked to me as if you used a standard polyester resin for your repairs and additions to the existing fiberglass canoe. Although it's more expensive, epoxy resin would be worth some serious consideration for two reasons. 1. Canoe hullls typically flex a lot while in use, whereas cured polyester resin does not. (Epoxy is better at this.) 2. Epoxy bonds far better than polyester to an older, existing) fiberglass laminate (i.e., it's a better "glue.")
    That said, your canoe will undoubtedly serve you well for a long time. Thanks so much for sharing your project with us. Chris (Maine, USA)

    Bloody well done Andy. One thing we did to help load ours was bought a ladder roller like the tradies use and installed it on my rear rack.

    It’s great, bro if you could have talked through some of the restoration and process that would have been better. The actually putting it in the water, to verify its integrity and check any deficiencies….the reality is not many people are familiar wuth fiber glasswork or custom jobs. Also your accessories on the canoe are cool, the way you just popped them in is a nice touch

    You had me worried when you cut that bit off, but it all came together. Well done Andy. You need a camera pole on the front now to record what's happening while you're out in it. Tight lines mate.

    Great job! Nicely done, looks like all your work was well worth it. Here in Canada fishing is great however summer camping means constant mosquitoes or no serums. I’d like to add a sleeping berth or arrangement to a stabilized canoe so I can sleep out in open water away from shore. Have you considered doing something like that? Steve (67yrs) Manitoba
