I have a Bobs Special and live in York Maine. If you are interested coming up and tracing the stem on my canoe, you are welcomed. I needed to rebuild the stem on my bobs.

Thank you Peter-I appreciate your kind offer-you're not too far from me! Will reach out as the opportunity to travel North presents itself. Thanks again!
