I actually had a real one of these in the 60,s most peterbough canoes were canvas covered. I made the mistake of removing the canvas and refinish it with a clear coat. Probably a bad idea, should have left it as it was. I have to say this kit is identical to the real one except for the canvas

Hi Dave I am just now looking at you your post , fantastic job. I am thinking of making one from scratch using your info it is very good. Would you believe I actually had one of these canoes many years ago and it looked exactly like yours. it was canvas covered and painted red. The canvas was in bad shape so I decided to remove it. under the canvas was a brass or copper plate that read Peterborough Canoe Company spelled the canadian way! These kits cost an arm and a leg in Canada with the change in money plus shipping I have built a similar kit before so I think I can do it Would it be possible to send me the actual dimensions of the the mold pieces I am having a big problem trying to get them off your post diagrams. thanks Brad

Hey Mike I was wondering what you used for the pins in the oar locks in your picture they look like something that was supplied? or did you make them your self. There was nothing in my kit that looked like that. thanks again Brad
