What a beautiful canoe! We are currently thinking about buying one ourselves and seeing your post has given me a bit more spirit to look for a used one rather than buying a new one.
Also that label you couldn't read says, "Moise Cadorette Inc., Saint-Jean-Des-Piles, Quebec".
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for figuring out the label hahah! And it's not super hard, but also not super easy. You'll make mistakes, but you will learn from them. I'm sure you could do it :) Sent you a follow!
