: An easy cheap way is to build it with conventional frame with a
: plywood skin. Easier if the seams are fiberglass taped but you
: can use cheap polyester resin and bondo for the filets. People
: laugh but I've got a dinghy I built this way something like 15
: years ago that still looks almost new. Just have to allow it to
: dry out between uses and needs to be well painted to keep the
: wood dry.

The failed canoe lacks just that, a frame. And something to glue it together. But it does have a great deal of paint! :¬0
