129567-17 is the correct number. I finally got around to finishing this CS grade HW. I have had it way too long. It was glassed, needed quite a few ribs, some planking, a new center thwart, a new keel, new outwales, seat cane, paddle repairs and floor rack repairs. Kirby's Blind Green Paint, which seems a bit darker in real life.
It should be good for awhile now.

Nice job, Fitz, especially for the amount of work it needed. And the color looks great.
