Pretty Canadian though EH hauling a canoe in a snow storm. Nice shape but some moron used a sander to remove the Oceans and Fisheries stickers off it. Now I have to buff the whole thing to get rid of the scratches.





Bring on spring.

The Grumman's are a great canoe and very stable. I've had a 47 pound 13 footer for over three decades which has given me great pleasure. Besides washing out, the only maintenance I've done has been to lightly buff the exterior, rub it down with parafin wax, and buff again; the service schedule for this is about once every five years, lol.

Our Grumman canoe is one of the few things in life I wouldn't want to part with. As there was still room in the sea train container, last year I decided to ship it overseas along with a few other items to the cottage we are restoring in Wales. There are a lot of great rivers, canals, and waterways nearby here to explore. My storage unit is kind of small, so I suspended the canoe from the steel beam holding up my roof; I just got to remember to take it down before I frame in the ceiling, lol.

I'm confident you are going to enjoy your canoe Greg, and the more you use it, the better you will like it. Here are a couple of photos ours.
