• Happy "Killer Rabbit" Attacks President Carter in His Paddle Boat (1979)! 🚣🏼‍♂️🐇

"boat is basically very beautiful like a museum piece !"

Hmmmm...keel looks wrong, so does the serial number. Sheer line and rocker are definitely not chummy. Almost looks early Langford?

But hey it has a Chestnut logo so it must be. And it is cherry to say the least.

$400- $500 boat tops, but only if you want it to restore and use.
 
Serial number isn't Chestnut. Sheer line is wrong too, no re-curve on the stems. This one has been hacked up. Possibly a Canadian or Pete that was built and got the Chestnut logo to fill in an order.
 
I think it might be a Chestnut Bob's Special. The Bobs has a lower sheer line, a thin tapered keel, and thin ribs to save on weight. It is a beamy canoe too.

I was wondering if it was a Bobs. Those numbers stamped on the stems look like a 3 year old did them, pretty much confirms it's a Chestnut
