What are your plans for it?

If it is destined for fairly benign use, I'd do what Old Town seems to recommend, especially if looks aren't an issue. Their website is interesting: https://www.oldtowncanoe.com/blog/article/canoe-kayak-repair-guide

My first kayak was a fiberglass Phoenix Slipper. By the time I was done with it it looked like Jake LaMotta after 15 rounds but it was sound for white water.

I'd experiment with cinches on either side of the break, using blocks, etc., to pull the canoe together before applying any fiberglass or Old Town recommended material.

With plastic weld, I'd apply then cinch.

Good luck. Nice boat.
