Wooden Canoe Maniac
Just came home with what I'm told by SkiFree is a 16' Veazie (thanks Mike and Scott). Has splayed stems, plus external stems, and two cant ribs. One deck has been replaced, but the other, although somewhat mangled, has what looks to be a keyhole. One original thwart, nicely shaped. And nice seats. Also came with a nice slab of birds-eye maple! Here are some pics:

Ibelieve this is the same canoe mentioned here in 2012 by SkiFree. It's in very nice restorable shape: a couple of iffy ribs and badly repaired inner rail break, but no big problems. Haven't had time to look for identifying things like stampings, badges, or badge nail holes, but was told there aren't any.
I've read the Thread info from 2012 (key words Veazie & SkiFree). Can anyone add to this? Like, do we have a better way of dating it?
Now: can someone supply me with a tracing of a Veazie deck? I need to put that maple to good use!
