Thanks for the response, Dave. At this stage I am trying to gather information. I don't own a digital camera yet, so photos won't be coming quickly. I'm not positive it is a Haskell. Quite coincidently, I Googled the topic and found a current listing for a Haskell for sale on what appears to be a local bulletin board (Kijiji) in Flint, Michigan. It's hard to argue that this isn't a Haskell, as he shows the decal clearly. But in looking at the photos, that boat seems to have very different lines from the one I have. For anyone else who wants to look, the ad is titled 1930 Haskell "Indian Dream" wood canoe, MI made, Gaylord, MI Price US $2000.00. and the ad ID: 21749708. With my boat, someone in the past has slathered a thick layer of 'institutional green", you know, that color somewhere between turquoise and green that was probably found in your grade school, all over the inside, and so any original markings or decals are not visible. Aside from paint removal, my boat will require new outwales, plus there are a couple holes that were patched with sheet metal. Patching those holes in a way such that to canoe looks original again has me puzzled. Would one try to build up the hull to its original thickness and shape by using several layers of veneer?
