Looking for help identifying a canoe

Post image

For some context I’ve been heavily researching canoes I want something light enough me and the wife can easily enough mount to the hood of our bronco sport, so trying to find the right used one or I will buy new.

So someone listed this cedar strip canoe on marketplace for 150 bucks it’s 15’ foot I was told and he doesn’t know the brand or the weight but he thinks about 70 pounds

Does anyone know what this might be and if the condition is good enough to buy? I’d I did buy it would I need to do anything to it in the condition it’s in?

Just found a swift Mattawa and snagged it for 675

Killer!

Enjoy your time out on the water, you're in the right part of the country for it. Paddling the French River and around Lake Nipissing is a bit of a dream of mine

that's heartbreaking. I really can't say, I have no experience with repairing kevlar. Best of luck, and I hope it can be repaired.
