New Project Boat

I am such a sucker for a canoe....



Obviously its missing a couple of parts, but I should be able to find aftermarket thwarts to stiffen her up a bit. I tried to do some research on the canoe and company but apparently Herter's no longer is in business. I  haven't found enough information to identify it... For now I'm just going to call it the 17' beercan canoe. This canoe does have one feature I haven't seen before, it has a chine at or just above the waterline. I would assume that this is to give the boat additional initial stability. When I get it out on the water, we'll see if it feels tipsy or not...
Please leave a comment if you know anything about these canoes!
