I've just begun trying to restore the chestnut canoe that I grew up in (until my dad, brother, and I hit a rock in northern minnesota in about 1985).
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which chestnut this is and how much rocker it is supposed to have (it appears to have 3-4" at the moment and I'm not sure if that is intentional or a result of the fiberglass).
It is 18' long, 36" wide, and about 16" deep. The serial number 04 9033 is stamped on only one stem. The ribs are 3/8" thick and at about 2" spacing. It was bought in the late '60s.
Thanks in advance for any help in identifying this canoe.
