Help! Y’all may be my last and only hope in the ‘Great Canoe Identifying Crisis’…
I am new to the world of canoes.
This Summer I purchased a canoe off of FB Marketplace.
Gentleman didn’t have much knowledge of said canoes history. It was in my price range so I purchased it. With that being said—I have searched all kinds of sites to see If a photo would pop up by what little information I got from off of the canoe.
With some NEW knowledge I hope that I will be able to find replacement parts to restore and renew her back to almost new. My mum passed suddenly a year ago and I will be naming her after my mum and painting it with Our Western Samoan Symbols. I will post photos of all of the “markings” i.e. clues, in hopes they will be recognized by someone.
So you know approximately how old the canoe is. It was probably a small company that sold locally. I don’t know much about canoes, but maybe if you post pictures of the whole canoe, and/or the parts you want to update, someone else might be able to offer advice on restoring it. Good luck with your project!
The plate is as clear as it is… I hope this works. I need to replace the gunwales and repair the edges underneath where someone did a quick fix… Any information is much appreciated.
I can only upload 1 photo per thread due to me being new to the forum.
