Picked up this Racine, built in Muskegon Michigan, believe that dates it before 1915. Paul Knuth had it and had started the restoration on it about 20 years ago. Decided it was time to pass it on to someone else to finish. Dan, I believe you communicated with Paul about this boat back in the 90s. I don't know if you saw it in person. Ill probably bring it to assembly to get some suggestions. Boat is 14' 5" long. Stems seem to be distinctly rounded. Don't have original inwales or outwales but understand they were riveted on. The rail caps are almost 1/2 round if they are original, and they look to be. Any way, I am looking for any photos of similar boats to help me with the restoration. There are a couple I gleaned off older threads in the following window. I would like ti see the carry thwarts and how they were attached in particular. Original seats would be nice too.
