I recently raced the new River Racein upstate North Carolina. There was a Gentleman there with an interesting tandem Cruiser he said was a Sawyer. It had a pretty plumb bow, but not as plumb as a Jensen.
It had nice flare about 14-18 back from the bow. All the wood work was replacement.
The baby could not have been over 32 inches wide.
a little tumblehome, no concavity like a modern 4x32
the part that interested me was the stern was identical to the Shockwave. Anyone familiar with this old canoe?
Could this be it?

The home page for picturetrail offered another catelogue with Sawyer's in it.
Here's advertising copy from it on the Cruiser:

yep
it was a sawyer championhull with home made replacement gunwalesa and thwarts. Really nice lines on it and it was stable enough to handle a fairly rocky river.Thanks for the link.
