[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 465993, member: 15636"] It’s said that Delcraft Boat Mfg Co of Delhi, Louisiana made their canoes, Appelby (sp?) made their jon boats and I’d bet $$ that more than a few boat companies made their tin boats ... as in, [i]whomever they could squeeze the most to get a good profit margin[/i]. Delcraft did make V-hulls, so maybe that was them too. That said, you how the Parts #s at Sears start with a 3-digit number in front of the Model #, e.g., 315.61001, etc.? It is said that the 3rd digit stands for the code for who made it for Sears and it used to be that you could call Sears Service with that number and get them to look it up for you. I'd CHECK that hull out in the water before you did anything, as I had a Gamefisher 12' V-hull once ... well, V-hull in form, but in reality it was one 'tippy canoe' :shock: ! I couldn't sell it fast enough! [/QUOTE]
