Its not like I'm wearing work boots in my canoe, I'm only sporting women's size 7 neoprene slip ons but there are significant wear spots in the footwell of my Hurricane.
The paint in the footwells actually started to wear last September the first few weeks after I purchased the canoe and when I was still paddling in bare feet. I contacted Hurricane about this and they told me it was just normal wear and tear.
Now the wear has gone through the blue paint, a black layer and to where a layer of silver is showing. Could the silver be some sort of metal insert?
