I have an 18' foot Morris, serial number 14955 that appears to be a model D95 or perhaps a B75, Type 1. It is very rough. 4-5 ribs, perhaps 25% of the planking, the gunwales and the tops of the stems will need to be replaced. It is hogged. I am currently removing gobs of epoxy resin from the interior. I have a few questions. How much rocker should this canoe have and where does it begin? Is the bottom flat longitudinally between the thwarts or seats and then rises towards the bow and stern or does the rocker begin in the center?
Also, does anyone have a picture of the intersection of the inner gunwales, stem and deck without the top gunwale in place?
Any advice is appreciated.
Bob
