Re: How many thwarts in your canoe

I am planning on adding one more between the center and stern seat in the original position. I might add some more later. After thinking about it more, I probably won't be doing any rough stuff.

Re: How many thwarts in your canoe

That is a good point about placing a bar behind the bow seat. The project wasn't too bad, it was a little difficult once the canoe starts turning in and up.

The seats are have some scratches, and you will need to buy some new carriage bolts. They bent when the canoe was pinned. I will take $20 for everyth...

How many thwarts in your canoe

I gave up getting some replacement gunwales from Buffalo. I called one day and they had replacements. I tried calling back several times to set up a time to purchase some replacements, but I couldn't get an answer. I tried the hotel, but the unfriendly lady on the other end of the line said they no ...
