: Big job!
: You'll have to separate the deck and hull and glass both sides,
: then re-assemble. Getting a good glass bond will require a lot
: of work with varnish stripper and sandpaper. And, you may mess
: up some of the 'artistic features' as well.

: If it were mine, I'd sell it to a local bar to hang on the wall,
: and use the proceeds for another boat (or materials to build
: one).

: I'd have some serious doubts about the builder's expertise. (Who
: would build an unglassed strip hull, with 'a loose strip' and
: donate to a charity?)
: Is the kayak a known design?

No history info on it at all. Its was built in Comox BC, Thats where my first strip boat came from and thats what I am comparing it too. There are some great features and work on the boat. Its a great length and width for are waters in the gulf islands of BC. I will fix it because the wife was against getting it, NO way am I going to eat this one. To nice of boat not to fix.
