Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
A five hr one way trip from Ny through Vermont and deep into Nh: I purchased this canoe.The serial #appears to be 22159, 88159, or 88169. The one may also be a zero The sailing rig seat and brackets for the rudder are intact. I was very surprised to find the sides have almost like a sponson smoothly built in. I would approximate the extra thickness below the gunwales , not counting the ribs and planking to be at least 2". Just tried meas. ..@32" from planking to planking inside, 37 1/2 overall width. The canoe is 17' long quite heavy. Theres red paint showing under the green where its chipped and on the keel. Any information anyone might have would be greatly appreciated. Also, pics of the rudder/ steering, and original mast seat support would be great.
