Another unknown builder

LOVES Wooden Canoes
An interesting courting canoe stopped by the canoe shop today and I wonder if anyone can help identify what it is.

It is from one of the Charles River builders, but there are no marks or remains of a decal nor a tag, It has a serial number at each end, 366 16.

The ends of the stems are done nicely, at the bottom there is an interesting bevel and at the top there is a little notch where the planking terminates.

The seats have gone missing and the decks are pretty well shot, but the hull is solid and can be brought back.

Thanks, Steve

My guess is a Kingsbury based on the side bevels at the end of the inside stem.
