    That would work well too. Given the mess that remains from the glue after pulling off the old canvass this is probably a good approach. I was hoping to avoid any more drilling but will look in to it.

    The challenge I am having now is finding decent canvas.

    Boat is looking awesome so far though - new doors, floors and paint. Ducks are getting nervous...

    I decided to screw the canvas down. I found some heavy gauge stuff at a sewing shop on East Hastings (Funny, did not seem to be many hunters there) that was on clearance for $5/metre. Got it on and painted. Looks good.
