My does stuff pop up while a guy is gone a bit.
I sent the poster a message asking for more info,
but no, Joe never built a 12' canoe or boat,
at least none were ever entered in his records,
and he kept pretty good records.
The shortest canoe entered is a 15' canoe that was built over a Chestnut canoe, and the original owner still has it and treasures it.
If this is 12 ft, either it's not a Seliga, or somebody cut one off, it didn't come from Joe this way.
BTW, It's listed as being a 1953, in '53 Joe made 15 17 ft'ers and they all went to Sommers.
