Surely similar but... Mine will never grace the halls of any museum and (some did notice) none of the psychedelic colors on mine are visible to the paddler while actually using it.

All that's visible while sitting in the seat is White Pine & Cherry (and, yes, that was certainly intentional)

I remember seeing a similar canoe many years ago which I think was an Old Town with the hull covered with the Budweiser bow tie emblem. The guy who owned it was an SC Johnson employee who got it from Johnson Outdoors (owner of Old Town Canoe). Apparently it had been used for promotional purposes before he acquired it. That was back in my big beer drinking days and I thought it was pretty cool.

I have this fiberglass boat, it is our family Bud Boat. I have had it for 30 years. 15'4" long. Curious to find any info regarding this serial #?

I broke down and bought a travel trailer. Dealing with a wet canvas tent every trip was getting tiresome. This is my new set up I tested out last weekend.

I, too, saw a Budweiser canoe. It was about 17 years ago in Bel Haven Paddlesports near Batsto, NJ — now out of business.

Good grief, I get annoyed by ropes in my field of vision... those bikes would drive me batty! (certainly looks like a great "ready for whatever comes our way" setup though... have fun)

After replacing my vehicle with a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee, I found that Thule does not make compatible mounts that will fit their old-style square bars. The few replacement options for extra wide bars are quite expensive, so I ended up making some adaptor brackets to reuse the foot set from my old vehicle. Of course, the designers cannot make it easy. The mounting face of the factory rails not only cant out about 10 degrees, but they also splay front to rear.

INNO makes a mount for the old Thule square bars. I am using a set on my 2023 Subaru Outback.
