Gavin Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 What is your hull made of? You need to get the kit with the epoxy that will stick to your boat. Piragis Northwoods is a good online source for a skid plate kit. Not hard to do...bit of prep and some masking around the area you want to put the skid plates on.
Chief Grey Bear Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 My bad Gavin, I just assumed that everyone had an Old Town.

Stoneroller Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Just in luck. KeelEazy makes a product that is much easier to apply and use than epoxy based systems. www.keeleazy.com they also have a facebook page, but it needs some 'likes'... Fish On Kayak Adventures, LLC.

ness Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 The kevlar/epoxy kit Gavin mentioned will work on an Old Town too. And if it doesn't, all you're out is an Old Town Not a real hard project at all. They are tough! John
Chief Grey Bear Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I think that is the one I see on most canoes??

Chief Grey Bear Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Naw, I was thinking it was a grey or tanish color. Seemed kinda thick looking too. I thought I had seen a thread on it a 2 or 3 years ago here.

Stoneroller Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 yes i've used the keeleazy. I like to put a 2 inch strip in the heavy wear areas and a 3 inch strip over the top of it for the length of the hull or the keel. I don't think you'd need to or it would be very practical to cover the length of your canoe. Fish On Kayak Adventures, LLC.
