The front bow support is ripped, handle torn off, leaky seams, water-logged transom boards, dirty foam and dented aluminum, but with a bit of fixing it will look and perform excellent.

Improvements to be implemented as follows:
1. Drill out the aluminum sheet on top of the bow, add a varnished plywood board with carrying handle
2. Replace water-logged stern board with varnished thick plywood
3. Replace rivets on thwarts
4. Remove outer foam, clean, dry and replace hardware
5. Remove tar, re-apply clean and concise repairs
6. Sand and paint thwarts & gunwales

ugh, a transom model?! I guess I really have no clue what that is haha Looks a bit sexy though, and with those fix-ups will probably be even more so.
A transom is the flat back of the craft that allows for a small motor to be attached. I would have rather got a true canoe, because this one is pretty hard to paddle.
awsome photos man...im from south porcupine also and i want to canoe the porcupine river too. Didnt know there were nice walleye in there
