    Hi I recently pulled out the old canoe from out the back. It's been sitting in a field for a few years. It's full of holes and cracks. I have it for sale on adverts. Is it worth selling cheap or repairing it myself. Also what materials do i need to repair it.

    I presume its fibreglass boat your talking about?

    Have you the link to it on adverts?

    How bad is it.
    If its sitting outside in all weather it will have weakened severely. Especially when you say it has holes and cracks.

    if this is it <http://www.adverts.ie/boats/canadian-canoe-major-repair-project/7221544>, I wouldn't waste any time or money on it. You'd be better off building one from scratch

    Apart from the amount of repairs you need to do, the fibreglass is probably well pasted it use by date. It is going to be very weak and probably won't last a river trip.
