Sponson canoe with special paint schemes....

I'm looking for photos of sponson canoes with special paint designs. I've seen Benson's sponson canoe with design number 4, but am looking for other examples.
Thanks!!

here's one

From an old OT, a pretty simple design. May or may not have been factory, but the canoe was looking pretty original to me.
 
Argh!

tRY THIS AGAIN. oops, caps lock again.

The design is similar to, but not exactly like, the OT design called the Greek design, and assigned different numbers depending on colors (14, 24, 37):

I suppose it could be a factory variant, or a "copy" done by a dealer or an owner.
 
I have seen other examples of the design 37 with the stripe along the outside of the sponson that appear to be original from the factory but haven't been able to locate a good picture of one. Another common variation is to paint the top of the sponson (or the entire sponson) in a contrasting color but these probably didn't leave the factory that way. Go wild,
