I have owned a 16 foot Fiberglass Old Town Katahdin Canoe for many years. This winter it fell off its saw horse perch and flipped up. Snow filled it and  we had powerful Northeasters and pounding rain. The poor canoe took a beating and filled with water demonstrating it was still leak-proof.

Our  Katahdin began its life as a bright red canoe and my sons and I used it greatly in Northern New Hampshire along the backwaters of the Androscoggin river and the ponds nearby.

Later, I spray painted it with camo paint for duck hunting but used it rarely as my sons flew from our nest.

Now, emptied of water, I need a new yoke and one web seat. But the camo faded and looks very sad.  Accordingly, I promised the canoe, a rebirth and a new professional camo paint job because I have 12 year old grandsons and a granddaughter to teach how to fish and paddle.

I went on-line and found my new birch yoke and web seat. But there is more… I found a camo spray paint kit and a kit of camo stencils to reinvigorate its life.

And the stencils too. All of these below in a plastic/ synthetic overlays with which to spray camo paint on.

Below is the new camo job on the canoe.

Good Canoeing!
