Also,inner floor board was repaired. The 15ft 50 pound Old Town canoes go pretty fast as very desirable for canoe camping trips as lighter to portage. Many use 15ft Old Town's as display canoes in cabins and restaurants as a perfect size to show off features but not to consume too much space. Please note that if purist, this canoe is not for you. As happened to many canvas canoes in the 1970's and 1980's, a previous owner replaced the canvas with fiberglass. The fiberglass was in perfect condition so I did not strip it and replace with canvas. Some find fiberglass much more durable than canvas with much better paint finish.
