I ended up buying a SR Wilderness 18 in need of some TLC. It was from this forum post.
Wilderness 18 My friend (user0317) and I are in the process of fixing her up in hopes for a fall trip with our sons (ages 11 & 13).
I hope to have a whole "fixing" post with pics when we are done.
I purchased new gunwales from Wenonah, who were very helpful and friendly even though it was a competitor canoe.
I have questions with putting on the gunwales. Do they have to be pre bent? If so how do you make the jig to do this. Gunwale install should be next weekend.
Any help is appreciated.
