Canoe Identification

Curious about Wooden Canoes
I need help identifying a wood canvas canoe (make/model) and possible age. The canoe is L: 15' W: 34" D: 12". It appears as though some restorations may have been done by a previous owner. Under the crown edge of the deck has been rounded. The ribs are about 2 3/8" but taper towards top ends. There is also a 45 degree angle on the sides of ribs. The thwart looks newer the the rest of the canoe. The screws along the outwale are square (Robinson). Here are some pictures.
Thanks for any help!

Correction: The length is 14' and the width is 34" measured from canvas to canvas across the center.
 
A couple more pictures.

others more familiar may chime in but could it be a Tremblay? look under the decks for a stamped date. The ribs and deck look similar to one of mine but I have not seen the stem band run so far up the deck before
