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:

Looks like you converted a pig to bacon!

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
