Canoe Or Row Boat? Hunting Or Photography? No Reserve!

Ok so I bought this 'canoe' about 6 or 8 months ago... only to find that it isn't, I don't think, actually a canoe. I think it's better described as a Row Boat? It has two rowlock holders (no rowlocks though) and two oars that you would normally see on a row boat. The woman I bought it off knew little about it, so there was no real description, and I only saw photos of it upside down. When I went to collect it, it clearly was not what I expected - but hey, I won the auction so that's how it goes.

Her story goes something like this... 'My [late] husband had it made specifically for duck hunting - and he used it every year for may years. I think that some of the timber pieces are maybe a screen to hide behind when out on the water? ' So I thought that maybe it'd be pretty cool to take my camera out on the lake for a different kind of 'shooting' but between work and family... well you know how it goes. I've tried to photograph all the pieces that came with it. The square pieces that are painted a camouflage color are a bit of a mystery to me.

As is what may be a motor mount on the back? The ply cover has aged too much but could be used as a template to make a new one. Anyway... if you are interested, be smarter than me and come and have a look first. Pick up is at Toukley on the Central Coast. Michaelphone
