From what I can see the necessary repairs are all on the left gunnel and the bow.

With the exception of the stern of the boat the remainder appears to have been build the exact same way as fish's pirogues. You can go to that thread and see how those were made and should be able to piece it back together. For the side panel that appears to be busted you will need to either replace the entire side or patch from the inside. The patch will not look as clean as the replacement but would be a hell of a lot easier.

AS BP stated above. You are looking at replacing the crack side and a new bow stem most likely be need. One could "skin" the outside of that cracked side, maybe a option. But to really see if it can be repaired, I would need to do a full inspection.

By the way, nice lake skiff. If only it could tell it's life stories.
