Here's the semi finished product first. From what I can figure out, it's a 1967 Kildonan Canoe Company Vanguard Runabout. It had multiple tags in it so I had to go off the hardware and a metal emblem on the side. All the hardware was original minus the light you see on the front.

Here it is when I first bought it.

Floor, stringers and transom all replaced. A lot of work I'm not interested in ever doing again. Transom was raised a few inches to accommodate a long legged outboard. Tried to keep as much of the original shape and layout of the splash well.

Flipped over for hull patching and paint.

It's still not completed. It's water ready, but still lacking seats and the original metal work needs to go back on. No prior experience in this sort of thing, just YouTube and boat builder forums. A lot of work, but worth it for a nice classic on the water.

If there's interest in this sort of thing, I'll update as work goes on.
