We have recently aquired a Prouts folding canoe, has a number B633 marked on the wood, can anyone provide us with any more information on these canoes such as
Date built?
What type of waters was this canoe designed for sea/river?
Can it be stored folded?
Can the canoe support 2 adults?
Any tips on general maintenance
Would normal tent canvas waterproof fluids be ok for re-waterproofing the upper canvas?
What is the lower material, with what can we repair it if necessary?
Hope someone can help us to put this canoe back in use
Best regards
Bill and Adrian
