Recently obtained what appears to be Canadian Canoe Co Model 50. Might be an earlier construction but looking for feedback to confirm. Completely faded shield decal appears on a heart shaped deck. Ribs are 2-3/8" tapering to 1-3/4 at the tops. Planking looks to be Western Red and is quite wide, just under 4". Has a single thwart which is not centered but set further to the stern. Inwales appear to be spruce while outwales have been replaced with some sort of homemade, bulky version that is both nailed and bolted on and go well past the deck tips. Caning on the seats is long gone, replaced with a plywood plank but the the seats are hung with bolts and square shaped dowels. Wondering if any other folks have a Model 50 to compare. The few that I've found online seem to have semi-circular decks and non-tapered ribs.
