I am trying to identify a canoe I bought to restore but just don't have the time. I'd like to know what it's worth so I figured a maker would be a good start. I have a few pictures but can take more of specific areas if it helps
Looks a lot like a Chestnut to me - their Prospector models usually had slat seats. Is there any hint of a decal on the bow deckplate? (https://woodencanoemuseum.org/decals?tid[]=24)
There isn't, but i can if its worth peeling back layers. I have done a little bit of lookin around and the Chesnut looks the most similar to what I have. If there's any other identifiers, I can certainly look and take more pictures.
