Hello.
I seem to have located a great website full of information.
I think the canoe is about a 1968 12-13' trapper (guess). It is 12'3.5 inches from top point to top point if that is where it should be measured.
I have the above canoe and just took it off of a rack in the barn after having it set there for 18-20 years.
It belonged to my father (RIP) who bought it from an co-worker (Earl Bader, RIP) sometime in the late 70's or early 80's.
As I recall it was purchased in Grand Rapids, Michigan at a shop on Plainfield Ave, (no longer there) whose name escapes me at this time.
Any help with history or build info would be great.
I am considering passing it on to someone who has more time to re-canvas it and do a small amount of woodworking type repair.
Thanks so much.
Sawyer
