Canoe nut
Another rescue. This one was sitting on a guy's porch for over 5 years partially disassembled.
I acquired it from him because I really like the way it looked, brought it home and reassembled it - and like it even more.
Not sure what it is - from the first photo he sent me I thought it was and OTCA because of the decks, but it obviously isn't.
Length is @14' 6" maximum
gunnel width @32"
depth at center @12"
slight tumblehome - which is what I really like
The seats were attached by the brackets attached to the hull.
More pictures available.
It has the usual missing wood at the tips and 3 cracked ribs that could be back spliced.
I had promised myself that I would NEVER restore another wooden canoe...then I saw this one sitting there neglected...
