St. Louis Meramec / circa 1925 / custom vintage long deck courting canoe / Rare - $2,430 - (Dayton, IN)

Vintage circa 1925 St. Louis Meramec 17ft. custom wooden canoe. Serial number 770 17. Mahogany Arrowhead decks, 32" forward, 26" aft. 32" max. width. Cane seating was covered with cloth backed vinyl. Hull was fiber glassed in the 60's. Overall length is 17'6". With input from the WCHA, some determination was made to the possible year of manufacter on remaining records. The long decks of this canoe, the additional half ribs run the full bottom, suggest this was a custom made "courting" canoe. There is a half round brass that runs the full length from bow to stern (partially missing). There is one dent that has broken the fiber glass (see photo) Canoe was always stored inside, for a few years was on display at a rustic bed and breakfast in Georgia. Likely the canoe's point of sale was Akron, Ohio. My family's origins are nearby, but it is time to sell this well cared for memory. This is an easy restoration of a rare canoe. All additional items, vests, cushions, paddles, and outboard motor support included. Local pickup only. PayPal preferred.
