Am I nuts or ??????

[Dan Lindberg]

I looked at another canoe project this weekend, and I "passed" on getting it,
thinking it was a little too far gone (think dry rot) and a little too many $$'s.

BUT it was a Morris, and I still passed.

Am I nuts or ???????????

For Kathy, it was a later curved short deck version with 3 ribs and open gunwales. It did not have the S/N plate, though the drive nail holes could be clearly seen on the top of the stem.

I was accused of the same when I passed on a Morris a long time ago. I've never looked back and regretted it. (The fact that it was 20' might have helped...)

Hi Dan,

Guess what I ran into last week.........

Remember that gal with the Rehbein canoe? who was writing an article about it, well I came across the article.

Did you ever get a copy of it?

If not, I'll a scan the mag and send it to you, there may even be addtional info about Rehbein.

nuts? no way

I find logical thought and financial restraint are often confused for mental fragility.
Dan, at 20' I hope it had a motor... I'd have passed too, that's too long for my carhole.

Gee guys, Kathy says we need [yeah right] a 13 footer,15 footer and the 20 then we'd have all the lengths Morris made. I'd go for the 13 and 15 but bulk at the 20.

No, Denis, you "balk" at some of my canoe-related suggestions, like the 20 foot Morris or a war canoe... you "bulk" at... hmmm... probably just thinking about chocolate. You balk because I don't do much of the lifting, because I am over a certain age... you bulk because you are over a certain age.

That's Ok Denis, some years ago I also passed on a real nice OT 20ft Guide, just cause it was way too large for me to handle.

And now that I think about it, a 18 or 20 ft Morris also.

Hmmmm.........guess I belong to that "pass" club also...had a chance to get a sweet looking Morris that basically only needed a new skin and passed on that one about 3 weels ago(600)....where to you find the passes stamped ACCEPT on the face

No I don't think I ever did get a copy. Would love one...

Thanks,

Nope, no motor. At the time I may have passed on that too, but not now. I'd take a Morris motor canoe any day.

The gal with the 20' Morris also had an 18' PY Rainbow that did follow me home. That one was a regret...

I would love a cop of that article as well if you'd be willing to share? I have 2, possibly 3 Rehbein canoes. A 16 ft and a 13 ft for sure. The third one I am not certain is a Rehbein and I am unsure on it's length.

Check you e-mail.
