War Canoe Floor Racks

[smallboatshop]

Does anyone have the specs for the floor racks for an OT 25' war canoe?

The shadows indicate that there were 4 slats on each side of the center (no keelson) and that they were maybe a inch wide. There were apparently two sections meeting under the center thwart. Other OT floor racks had 3 slats of 1 3/8th's with a taper of about 36 inches to a width of 7/8th's but it doesn't look like these slats were that wide.

Thanks.

Linda / Dan, very old post but did you get any specs or have any to share? Thanks

I made some quite a few years back. I think I used select pine and 16’ boards were long enough. I don’t have the specs. I just laid the slats out on the floor over the shadows and figured the spacing from there.

Makes sense, The shadows on this canoe are clear. Thanks Dave
