Old Town Fifty Pounder rocker

I'm restoring a 1953 Fifty Pounder and it has quite a bit of rocker, looks like a nice solo river boat which is why I got it. Anyone notice rocker in their Fifty Pounder?

Chris:

I did a 1964 vintage 50 pounder for my uncle in law. It resides in VA and I only paddled it once on a lake, tandem. It performed very well.

There was some rocker in that canoe as shown in the attached picture:

Thanks Fitz! Yup, looks just like my '53. I guess I didn't realize how much rocker they had. I can't wait to get it done and do some rivers out here.
