Jack provides a comparison between guideboat and canoe construction, their material and structural differences. He then takes us through many aspects of repair and restoration of his unidentified Adirondack guideboat.
Great video and narration. I am in the middle of a somewhat similar guideboat project. Do you have any photos of the boat painted and in the water? I'd love to hear how it came out once totally completed. Thanks.
Thanks for your kind words. I do not have a photo of the boat on the water, but I do have one of the boat sitting onshore. Not sure how to post it and get it to you. The hull is dark blue outside, medium gray inside with black wales and deck. The seats and risers are curly maple made to grants pattern. Rows nicely although a bit more tender than my 16’ Hanmer.
About how long did this whole process end up taking, in hours? This is a hugely helpful video for a similar restoration I am doing right now. Thanks for posting.
