May have found B.N. Morris... (GULP) bookshelves

Look away, Kathy.

Here's the Ocala, FL Craigslist ad:

Based on that deck profile and unmistakable inside stem, I'm guessing this is a dismembered Morris. Perhaps a 14 footer based on the description.
Adding insult to injury, it doesn't sound like the seller is going to be particularly flexible on price (quotes $800-$1500 for each half as his reference).

Really - they ought to be tied up and have it stolen right out of that ugly family room while they watch. Not to mention they ran out of steam before even finishing the job. No mention of the second seat, thwarts, serial tag, etc. And it was sandblasted, which raises even more questions.

I've seen similar tragedies reversed on this site, and it looks like it was a very nice canoe (pre-chop). Perhaps one of us will feel it's worth putting back together? If nothing else, maybe we should all barrage the seller by email and make 'em feel awful.

It's a Morris and it has been on Craigslist for a long time... no takers! Sandblasted - probably not worth trying to put it back together. The seller has probably already gotten emails. No sense in harassing. The damage is done. Looks like it was in great condition, but at least the loss of this one makes intact ones just a little more valuable.
