Parts for Canoes & Kayaks
Occasionally customers don’t want a complete canoe or kayak. They want certain parts that they don’t feel comfortable with or don’t have the tools to make themselves. So we help out… It can be a nice diversion.
I was asked by Pat in NJ to build him a few components for the wood stripper he was building, a Guillemot Petrel, his first. First it started with some of my recessed deck fittings. No problem… then a paddle park. Ok… It culminated in a carved wood seat and backband. All in exchange for a slightly used Binks 2001 sprayer with paint pot. Barter is still alive… He worked on the boat all summer and fall. It still need varnishing but he was dieing to take it out on the water.
