It is very close to me, but I can't offer to go get it for you because I will be out of town until 9/2.
But after that I would be happy to pick it up.

I know of several folks trying to get in touch with the seller with no luck for the past several days.

And there's also this one: newer, quite different, and not near me.

Craftsman Wooden Canoe - boats - by owner - marine sale

Restored vintage craftsman wooden canoe with a unique lapstrake hull. A real beauty! 14 feet 2 inches by 3 feet 2 inches

But I have never seen one of these before. Is it Craftsman as in the Sears Roebuck brand?

Looks like the Rushton sold, interested to see who bought it. Great buy.

 

[John Sand]

I think that "craftsman" is a modern glued lapstrake plywood boat, likely a Tom Hill.

 

[Worth Gretter]

I think you must be right - there are no fasteners visible in the other pix on CL.

Yes the red one is a Tom Hill "Daisy May" model. Hope the Rushton went to a good home.
