    Glenn,
    Contact Urban BoatBuilders. Great non-profit that may have what you are looking for.

    X2 on Urban Boatbuilders. I was a volunteer there for a few years.

    I got lucky and found one here on IDO.

    Check out the sweet 1950’s boat cushion!

    Also Glen, there’s a vintage boat show in White Bear Lake every Father’s day.
    Lots of collector’s that could be of help.

    How about a 15′ Sawyer fiberglass that has been in “protective custody” since we loaned it (NEVER lend ANYTHING you are not prepared to LOSE) to a cousin’s son for a canoe trip. It seems the canoe trip was down the rock infested Snake River. Not a place to take a borrowed canoe let alone a borrowed fiberglass canoe.

    Put duct tape over the damaged but readily repairable keel and protected the tape with an aluminum channel with the thought in mind to repair it when I got around to it. Never got around to it and it has been years.

    Hi Glenn,
    As requested, here’s some shots of the inside. Thankfully it wasn’t full of bees! It’s a fiberglass canoe, what can I say? Now that the subject of this canoe has come up my wife wants me to repair it (memories, memories) and give it to my granddaughter … which I do not want to do! I’m still working on my long neglected 16′ Crestliner.

    We have a handmade 17ft cedar strip canoe with trailer. It has never seen water.
