Hello All,
My dad acquired this canoe about 50 years ago when I was a child. He passed when I was in college and I never got to ask if he knew any history on it. As I recall, it was in pretty bad shape when he got it, so I would place it as much older than 50 years. I have had a renewed interest in it and have researched numerous sites and photos but just can't seem to nail down the make/model. I was hoping that with the wealth of experience of the folks in this association that you might be able to help me out.
Here are some specs as well as some key photos.
It is 16' long and 34-35" wide (depending on where you measure) with an inside depth of about 12".
The stem is 7/8" wide with a quarter round curve to it.
The ribs are 2.25" wide.
Keel screws seem to run through every other rib.
There is evidence of screw sets along the length to have possibly held down center planking at one time.
Thanks in advance for all of your help - much appreciated.
