13.5' Huron

[RobK]

Hi All;

A while back, I was trying to identify a canoe I am restoring.
I am now 95% sure it is a Huron, 13.5'.
Does anyone have photos of onethey could post.
In particular, I'm looking to see the decks and the inwale taper.
My inwales have been cut back about a foot and the deck is arrow shaped.
I would like it to be as close to original as possible, other than a centre seat for solo, instead of two seats.

Also, were can I purchase removeable portage yokes, preferably ash to match my inwale?

Thank-You

Rob Kozak

REI had portage yokes a couple months ago.

Piragis Northwoods has them as well.

Huron canoe

Huron canoe inwales end 6.75" before the stem and are not tapered. The arrow head shaped decks are 1.25" thick x 14" long. Just on my way out but I may have pictures if you need them.

Hi Dave;

Pictures would be great, thank-you.
I picked up my lumber from Dick Persson this weekend and
am planning on scarfing in new stems soon.

P.S. Thanks Dick for your help. The screwdriver/prybar worked great for removing the planking.

Not sure this is what you're looking for, Rob, but there is a picture of a replacement deck in a Huron canoe at:

13.5 Huron deck

Hi Rob K.
Had a look for you and found several deck pictures of restored canoes but they all have the inwale cap on. Searched a bit more and found a full size paper deck template I had copied from a 13.5 Huron. Can't do better than that! Email me your mailing address and and I'll send you copys n/c.
