Agree. I bought my Grumman Canoe in 1981 and it's still in great shape. This one is a '65 and is "built like a brick sh-thouse" (as my old man used to say, God rest his soul).

I was definitely leaning toward stern to bow... it comes in up to 30' lengths (pretty nice). The floor will slope toward the stern. Yeah framing will need to be solid, but this stuff isn't weak either (can go 24" on center, 240 PSF live-load on 36" centers). Running port to starboard would...

OK, a few updates. I'll be firing up the old Merc 800 this weekend. (might as well be optimistic about it) I'm gonna get it running and sell it, then repower the boat with a newish 90 hp outboard... E-Tec maybe. My old man spent enough time working on outboards instead of fishing for the both...
