You'll need a jigsaw, a heat gun, some mechanical aptitude and probably many cases of pbr to turn that thing into an OC.

I think it would be a horrible open canoe, but who knows. Check out Black Fly and Big Dog to see what they did.

FWIW, I thought it made a good C-1.

It was probably the first conversion I got to paddle. I recall liking it better than a Dagger Redline as a C-1.

Was My Favorite converted C-1 I ever paddled super Stable, small cockpit rim though, painfully Tight in the Thighs.
For me; boating brings me closer to to something divine, and in a open canoe I'm 8 Inches closer.

I think he meant a C-1 not an OC-1.
Have a great day, Ken
