Curious about Wooden Canoes
By way of introduction - I have a couple of old canoes someone has fiberglassed and I've decided to re-canvas them. One is a 1936 OT. I was told it is a Yankee model (?)
Here are some photos of the other, A friend gave it to me. It has had some less than expert repair over the years. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. It is seventeen feet with sharp entry and exit. At first I thought it was homemade, but now I believe it was manufactured. The decks look like a shop project, and the metal bow and stern protectors look like chrome trim pieces off a 1940s automobile. I don't know if I should put up the full size photos so here are the URLs
