W/C Canoes
Does anyone have any images of a Thompson Brothers canoe seat that is slatted instead of caned?
I don't know Dave, I checked my sheet and the H's described all had the traditional T end shape. The Rangers from '37 to 47 had this traditional high curved end shape, as does the Indian from '49 to 53, (these may both be the same canoe just with different names.) and offered/had the 1/2 ribs.
I agree about the slat seats though, I've never seen them on a T.
This is an image Fred sent me in an email, notice the really narrow ribs in the background, and again, same seat construction, and yes, a diamond head bolt
