For those interested.
This canoe is still available.
It is S/N 54 4 180, and was originally purchased by Sommers Canoe Base.
It is the standard 17 ft canoe that Joe made the most of, it has had the seats replaced (with boards) and has been damaged during it's last transport, a rope broke and caused the front deck to split, allowing the canoe to seperate some at the front. I don't know what or if any damage occured to the stem or planking.
It was recanvased sometime in the past and the keel was not reinstalled.
I don't know the condition of the ribs and planking, but the owner claims they are in good condition.
It does need revarnish on the inside.
He now has pics if anybody is interested.
I told him I couldn't get it.
