Wow! Well done! You will enjoy the first time in the water and for a long time after. Beautiful canoe.

Long long time. I have a prospector that is 34 years old. Used hard, scarred, but refurbished at 27 with new gunnels and breastplates. Glass and epoxy are original plus some patches. I just had another 34 yo that was the third boat I built show up on craigslist.

You should really get it out on the water and get that ear to ear grin going .... grats on getting it done.
