This combination of materials fuses together the two halves creating and extraordinarily strong keel. We then attach our half-moon aluminum keel guard by embedding screws in the now rock hard seam. The end result is a keel that is practically bulletproof. The canoe tracks superbly in the water. If you sustain damage to the aluminum, you can simply cut out the section to be replaced using a hacksaw, back out the screws, and piece in the new section of keel that we will send out to you.
All canoes have a double layer of state of the art fiberglass materials.
While there may be other lighter weight products on the market, we feel we have found the right compromise between price, weight and strength. We use the highest quality get coat and resin products on the market today. We add integrity to the canoe by applying a medium brown gel coat to all interior surfaces. This makes the canoe as durable on the inside as it is on the outside. A quick wipe down on the canoe after use should keep it looking like new.
