Good Morning All
I have a lead on an older canoe, which the owner says he brought down from BC to the East Coast. To me it looks kinda like a Chestnut Cruiser(Pleasure model), and the dimensions seem right.
It's 16 feet - spot on, and 34 in. across the beam to outside of gunnels.
Somewhere between 11-12 in. deep at the center thwart.(this was to underside of the thwart).
Ribs are 2 3/8-2 1/2in. wide with about 1 1/2" spacing. It has slat seats which look original.
The decks also seem correct with a slight chamfer on the underside.
I forgot to measure them but they look to be about 12 in. long.
As I say it looks kinda right, but could it be something else? I do not see any impression of a deck decal and there is no serial number that I can find.
Price is OK, but still needs both gunnels inside and out, stems, thwarts, canvas etc.etc.
