Old Coleman Ram-X canoe
osage outlaw:
Nice score!
Hawkdancer:
Real neat! Paddling plastic is better than not paddling! We got one like that sitting on sawhorses in the back yard, too! 15 footer! They do fade some in h e sunlight, but Turtle wax should help that. We aren't going for white water, or getting too far from shore! Also have a 17' wooden canoe to restore that somebody covered with fiberglass and resin apparently. That is a real tough job to look forward to! It is behind the bow, Flintknapping hunting, fishing and a lot of other to do's!

Willie said it all,,we did about the same,,BUT if you tip it and it fills with water dude your screwed !! We would get inner tubes and stuff them inside the boat the inflate them,,,made righting a lot easier also a five gal bucket would sit fine in the tube,,,,,we made crude out riggers and used small electric trolling motors caught tons of fish,,be safe ,,,I'd lay odds that you'll take a liking to that boat jeffw
bjrogg:
Well JW. I'd say that looks like a match made in Heav... well I guess a sketchy park.lol. Looks cool to me Captain JW Halverson. I'm betting Jeff is right and it stays around along time. Have fun and stay safe. Hope your stringer is full of tasty fish.

It has small covered decks and bulkheads on either end. Somewhere in the process of tuning her up, I intend to make sure that both are filled with new foam flotation baulks.
