acs-fishing Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I recently acquired a 17' fiberglass canoe. No idea of the make or age of it, other than it needs major sanding and painting, its a great canoe. I wanted to mod it and turn it into a nice little fishing canoe for exploring Colorado waters this year. Send some inspiration my way fellas! Quote

BrianSnat Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 How you trick it out will depend on the type of canoe it is. if you have yourself a wider,stable canoe you don't need to do much beyond adding a comfortable seat, some rod holders and perhaps a depth finder. If you have a longer, narrow tripping canoe or one appropriate for racing, you might need to add sponsons such as Goose52 did. Those longer, faster canoes are usually not very stable. Quote
