New 3/4 plywood for seats
New trim and fasteners

Looks like you converted a pig to bacon!


The body is aluminum, right?  what kind of paint did you use?  I have a Canoe I want to strip and paint.

I restored one like that when I was a kid, but mine had a wooden keel.   Replaced all the wood, patched it up, new benches...the whole nine yards..

them older boats sure paddled well, lot better than newer boats.   It was super heavy though.

Got it from the old Pierre Lake resort, had a number of them sitting in the weeds the old guy let me have one free. 

Galvanized metal.


enjoyed seeing your restoration  :tup:

12ft aluminum
I scraped and sanded a bunch but finally said enough on that, sprayed everything with vinegar and wiped it down with acetone
Good ole rustoleum enamel and roller/brush
the trim is for holding white plastic lattice from Lowes
