Hey Dave, Dan and others who have seen a few Thompsons.
I got the latest project home yesterday, sorry Wisc guys, I poached it from you.
Anyway, the down is that it was supposed to be a 15 ft'er, but it's not, it's a 16.
But the ribs and planking do look nice, with few if any broken ribs. It is glassed however, and 3 rails are gone, only 1 inner is remaining.
Anyway, it looks very much like an Indian, (and may very well be) but width is about 32 at the outside of the planking at the rails, and about 12 3/4 deep. (I haven't got it pulled in far enough yet so am not sure of the width,)
And the decks, thwarts and remaining inner rail are mahogany, not usual for an Indian.
And the seat and thwart bolts are countersunk and filled/bunged.
Any thoughts as to model and year? ( I'm not sure if it will get pulled in far enough to have the 3" tumblehome of the Camp canoe, but maybe.)
