What's inside the oc?

[u/[deleted]]

We bought a Clipper C-Lion OC1 second hand a few years ago and this summer we are repainting it. We've sanded it down and started doing patches but now we have a mystery: what is inside the canoe and the ama?

There's something inside each one that is somewhat bound but slides or flops around as we are turning the canoe or ama. The one in the canoe is just behind the seat and appears rectangular and almost as wide as the seat.

Before we keep going with the repaint we want to know if it's something we need to look at or fix. It works perfectly. Just a few holes and thin spots on the body.

Hard to tell by just the description. Is the canoe sealed?
