Curtis Nomad dream realized

VDiddy said:

After linking up on this site, Athomas and I put together my dream boat upgrade from a fiberglass to kevlar Nomad. Due to a recent shoulder surgery that has me laying low for a while, he did me a huge favor and picked up the Nomad from Dave Curtis and drove it 5 hours to VT, and purchased my fiberglass.

For those that were following this boat on Hemlock's site and curious, it is truly like new. With a comparable new Peregrine selling for $4,000, $2,400 felt more than reasonable- especially after seeing the condition in person. It's like it was moved around in a showroom for 37 years and seen only a couple demo paddles. Can't wait until spring when my shoulder can get this thing on the water.

I saw it over at Dave's this fall. That's a great canoe in great condition for a very reasonable price and I'm surprised it hadn't sold before now. Those early Curtis laminations weigh a bit more but are durable builds. Looks like there aren't any decals - you can get a couple of "Curtis" decals if you're so inclined

I'm curious about decals, are you aware of any sources? I was planning on trying to find a graphic designer to make a file from a photo that I could have printed by one of the many online custom decal companies.
