I purchased a 16 ft Souhegan on 12/5/1993 from a NJ dealer
I have enjoyed many trips with wife and black lab. I always remember a terrible rain storm near Bastos village where we hauled out and covered with the canoe. When we lifted the canoe after the down pour we didn't see our dog. We finally located her with legs spread out inside the overturned canoe frightened terribly by the storm.
I also saw an identicall canoe in blue FG at a sport store in Mysuru Japan on the Sea of Japan in 1998.
