Any ideas as to who might have built this fiberglass canoe? I thought it might have been Mohawk but they said No. Floor is a fiberglass weave gunwales are aluminum. I can take better pics if needed.

The green one in the second picture looks like an Old Town Camper, a very good all around canoe for fishing/camping/paddling
 
Does it have a serial number stamped or written somewhere on the hull? In the U.S., the first part of the serial number identifies the manufacturer.
 
I know what the green one is its the other I'm interested in finding out about as there was no serial number or anything else on it indicating who built it.
 
Fiberglass one could have been made by any one of a number of producers. Many fiberglass canoes will be made by one manufacturer and rebranded for big box stores. Looks like a chopper to me, which means it is sprayed in fiberglass as opposed to sheets. Choppers are on the bottom end of quality.

I wouldn't worry much about who made it, but rather take pride in the fact that you resurrected a butt ugly canoe and turned it into a thing of beauty.
