Hello all, first post here!
So, I picked up a '74 Sawyer canoe. Needs a little work so he let it go for $125. Not sure what model it is, and would like to get a few parts to make it like new again.
Has grey speckle paint on the inside, and white tractor seats mounted on aluminum frames.

Welcome to the forum and owning a Sawyer. I’ve got a Sawyer Summersong solo that is also that sort of fiberglass.
In the photo gallery, look for a member named hanssolo. Among his galleries are an album of Sawyer canoe catalog and spec pages. That might help you narrow it down.
A few more photos might help, too. There are a few people around here with great skill at figuring out old canoes.

Thank you! I'm going to have to do some fiberglass repair and a repaint. I painted a hobie cat awhile back but I forget what paint I used, I know it was from West. Any thoughts on the exact type I need? Will be doing the roll and tip process. Also, the Sawyer emblems are badly faded and warped, does anyone know where I can get a couple clean ones?
