Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
Just got back from a trip to Allagash and Chamberlain Lakes Maine. Stopped in Gettysburg on the way back and saw where the Maine 20th Infantry saved the North's bacon in 1863. Of course, had to bring back a canoe or two to work on. Found this Morris which was sold to me as a 16 footer, which I wanted. Alas, it is a 17 footer. *#!! People don't know the difference. However, after all the work of stripping the inside the owner let it sit outside on saw horses where it deformed. I am certain it can be restored anyway (when I get to it) but the problem is, I don't know what model it is and thus the desired original dimentions. The extreme outside dimension and small tumble home says it is a model D but the depth is way off, 2 1/2" or so. Anyone make a guess?
