Curious about Wooden Canoes
Hi guys.Great site.I've been poking around for a while but have only just registered as I have a new acquisition.
The previous owner is about 60 yrs old and says it was bought by his grandfather-which should place it around the early 1900's I believe.
His father did the 'glas work and he put the motor mount on there-both will be coming off-the 'glas probably over the winter as I want to paddle it first.
The dimensions are: Length-18' . Width-30 1/2" between gunwales at center. Depth-13" measured between the ribs to top of gunwales at the center. The ribs are 2" apart.
I'll have to wait for the wife to get home to get a approx weight figure so she can look at the scale while I lift it.I'm not really looking forward to it as this is the second canoe to arrive home in the past 2 weeks to take up space in the basement-ma won't be happy.
On another note,I tried to get a membership but the link said invalid url.When I tried from the store,it worked until it tried to go to paypal then said-invalid merchant address or some such thing.Do I have to do it by phone?Thanks in advance guys.Any and all info or insights are greatly appreciated.
Ain't she pretty......
