Hiya kids, I'm looking for some assistance in identifying the canoe I just picked up.
manufacturer: Mohawk
Composition: fiberglass & aluminum
Length: 10' 6" tip to tip
Beam: 26 1/4"
Depth: 10"
Characteristics: no factory seating, single thwart aft, shallow arch bottom, no keel, a little tumble home and flat side combo, about 22lbs soaking wet.
Ser #: MMN77045C990
I've done a little digging on the # that has yielded little info. I've got an email into Mohawk but haven't heard back from them.
my best guesstimate is that it's a "pack" model or a childs boat.
I can do the math to calculate cargo capacity but factory specs would be great.
I'm hoping someone here may help me identify this hull.
thanx for your consideration

I'm not familiar with this hull, but it appears to be a Wee Lassie type hull.

You sit in the bottom and paddle with a kayak paddle.

They are fun stable hulls.

I think it's a Mohawk Pack. I paddled one a bit in the early 80s. Just checked, yep, from paddling.com "mohawk 10 footer
Thanks Bob. I got a reply from Mohawk canoes- impressive on a Friday evening, huh? According to the factory, Mohawk did once make a fiberglass solo canoe, lightweight(~33 lbs according to one owner on another forum) & about 10 feet 6 inches long. That owner ways his is stiff & fast for its length. His other comments lead me to believe that at least some of them came without any seat at all. It was called the Mohawk Pack canoe."
