#Fiberglass chopper gun in michigan serial numbers
#SAWYER CANOE SERIAL NUMBERS REGISTRATION# I traded my lady friend my kayak for her canoe. She said that she liked kayaks better than canoes, and I am not a huge fan of kayaks, but it is what I could afford at the the time for a fishing boat. So, here I am with a 13' handmade fiberglass canoe. It had been painted about 4 times in its life. Brown seems ti be the origonal color, then light green, red, dark green, white, and dark red.ĭownload Omap Flash Installer. We took about 4-5 hours to sand it all down, prep it, and I laid some ivory white paint down on it.įreshly painted I made a seat frame out of red oak, and wove a seat from some rope that I had laying around the shop. Alex was carving the cross brace while I was making the seat. So I did some research, and found a place to identify the boat manufacturer by the vin code. I found out that it was manufactured by Sawyer Canoe Inc, of Piqua OH. I dont know the date or model but it is a 13' boat. It could possibly the the 'Yankee Rebel' model, but I am not too sure. The only thing that I know about that model was that it was a 13' boat. If anyone has any info that would be great! I'm going to keep on searching! EDIT: It is not a Yankee Rebel, as they were an inexpensive model that Sawyer made to sell at places like K-Mart in the 70s and 80s. This one does not.Ĭorrect, it is not a Yankee Rebel. Your boat has woven roving as the inside layer, so it is one of their standard fiberglass constructions. The Yankee Rebel was mostly fiberglass mat and probably sprayed with a chopper gun, rather than hand built. If you can read the serial number, the last two digits will be the year that it was made. The Sawyer canoe company was in Oscoda Michigan, not Ohio. I was a Sawyer dealer for a while, but I can't remember their model names for many of the boats. After Sawyer closed their doors, the molds were eventually sold to Superior Canoes in Portland Michigan and they are still building some of those models. The 13'2' solo model is the only one currently listed at that length, and may or may not be what your boat is (back in the day, Sawyer had a pretty big line-up).
