Identify a Kennebec canoe

[Ivanourusoff]

Serial # 84327 16. ( the 1 looks also like a 7)-- Can anyone give an opinion of value from these factors and photos?:
Fiber glassed many years ago. In good solid shape. Repaired gunnel. Needs stern seat caned. Needs final paint.

My own personal opinion of a canoe's value when the canoe has been glassed is 50% of its value with canvas. Not the end of the world.

I see the Kennebec decal, but I'm not convinced it is a Kennebec.
I see what looks like diamond head bolts and the typical Old Town deck, not the heart shaped Kennebec decks.

There is no evidence that Kennebec ever issued this serial number or any other near it. The Old Town build record for this serial number at http://forums.wcha.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=11843&d=1281027983 seems to match so my guess is that the Kennebec decal on the thwart was added to this Old Town Canoe at some point. Feel free to reply here if you have other questions.
