First canoe hull restoration and royalex repairs

Picked up this 1996 old town tripper for $250CAD. Came with two Kevlar skid plates but had quite a few chunks missing out of the royalex. Spent more on epoxy than I did the boat. I also decided I didn't mind the look of a black bottom so I bought graphite powder to add to it. Not too sure if it actually helps with abrasion prevention but oh well. Given this year is this canoes' 30th birthday I figured might as well try and give it another 30 years of life.
