Genuine Indian Brand Canoe

The canoe I picked up for $300 on Kijiji last summer was a 16ft fibreglass genuine Indian Brand canoe.  There isn't much to be found about the company brand because from what I understand it closed in the late 1960s.

From the research and reading I've done, The Indian Brand canoes are good sturdy canoes. They aren't as lightweight as more current canoes but they are hard to destroy. My canoe is quite stable in the water and can handle loads of gear for camping.  So for a good price they are well worth the buy. You can find fibreglass canoes  from 11'-18'   as well as some of the first moulded plastic canoes were made by Indian brand.
