I traded a wooden lightning sailboat and a new trailer to a canoe seller in 1992 for this boat as I was traveling back to Wyoming for college and couldn't tow 2 trailers. It was in Connecticut somewhere between Madison and Branford where the canoe shop was. It seems I remember it was next to the tracks and the old guy washed his hands with Comet at the door in a bucket at his place. He had to have been 90 and totally blind. Good man. Funny I would remember a detail like that after 34 years. Still have the canoe and it's seen better days. Hoping to replace some parts on it like the seats, handles, and braces. The number on it is XTC 1253 2F P292. My wife and I used it on our honeymoon 21 years ago. (My previous wife and I used it on that honeymoon as well, 39 years ago lol. Any information you could give would be wonderful, thank you.
