Hello everyone! So I have this canoe that was started by someone who is no longer with us and I have zero info on it. I would like to at least know the name/design of it so I can decide what to do with it.
Also, the workmanship is "questionable" and I don't even know if it's worth messing with at all. It was free so at this point I have nothing invested other than the time spent going to get it.
It is 13' 6" from the top of the stem to stem, 29" wide at the gunwales at center, maximum beam is around 30"- 31" and the depth at the center is 16 1/2".
It has been removed from the forms yet no glass on the outside, so I'm not sure how to proceed with sanding/glassing without any forms to put it on. My other concern is the gaps between many of the strips, some are over an 1/8" and filled with who knows what. It looks like he may have used several different things, some looks like glue, some looks like putty, some looks like bondo maybe? Are gaps that big going to be structurally sufficient with the filler?
Here are some pics, please excuse my messy shop!
