New Wooden Decks for Malecite???

Advice
#1

I am picking up a used Malecite with wood gunwales, but it has plastic decks.



I would really like to pick up a set of nice wooden decks for it…like the butternut ones they put on the older ones.



I recall there were a few folks that were making them (not Mad River who i think I have to order from through a dealer).



Can anyone provide me with a source?



thanks

Try Rob at Vermont Canoe
in Waitesfield VT. He may ave some OEM decks in the vault!



Plastic decks may be concealing problems with the rail ends, though.
