For some reason I seem to remember it being a Sears canoe, it was painted to look like an old rawhide Indian canoe from the factory and the floats had bolts that were recessed into the foam with plastic cups or recessed washer about every few feet. The foam floats were about 4x4" or so and ran about 80% of the length of the canoe, spanning nearly the entire straight area on both sides. The foam was covered in some type of cloth that sort of resembled fire hose but a lot lighter. Another guy we knew had one with short outrigger floats on the sides for the same purpose.</blockquote>
