Thanks for all the compliments!  
Red makes for a nice "racy" looking canoe.  Joe Seliga painted them in all colors of the rainbow.  I chose green because it was the color of the Sommers Base Seliga fleet.
Specifications?  17" length, 36" max beam, 13" height amidships, full length 3/4" keel, slight rocker.  White cedar ribs, 6" western red cedar planking, oak stems, sitka spruce inner gunwales, mahogany outer gunwales, black cherry decks, seats, and thwarts.  Hull is covered in #10 canvas, filled and painted in Epifanes epoxy yacht enamel.

She's a beautiful canoe!  I've only had the opportunity to paddle and portage a Seliga once, and it was spectacular.  By the time I was guiding for the Sommers base, Aluma-Craft were the norm, Grumman canoes were esteemed, but the Seligas were legend.  If you ever need someone to portage that canoe for you, let me know!

Nice canoe!  Yep, nothing compares to the estetics of wood/canvas.  The feel, the sound.

The one problem I see is an easy fix.  Red paint.   

Yeah, I agree with MT, there's a lot that can be said for today's lightweight techno boats but for shear aesthetics nothing matches the craftsmanship and line of one of the old ribbed beauties.  And you've got yourself a gem.  Enjoy! 
PS: If they're at hand, could you post her specs?

Great lookin canoe.
Sounds like an enduring love affair.

My first trip to the Quetico was as a 14 year old Boy Scout out of the Sommers base in 1971.  We did the PP, North Bay, Sarah, Brent, Darky, Minn, LacLaX, Crooked, Basswood Loop.  What a great trip!    Of course the second day doing the Isabella/Side portages into Sarah nearly killed our group but after that we realized we could do just about anything. 
Our charley guide paddled one of these canoes and each day one of the scouts got to paddle in it with him.  I remember the reverence with which he handled that canoe and how different an experience it was from the Grumman aluminum cans that we were in the rest of the trip.  That stuck with me and a few years ago I started to search for one of these fine canoes.  After a few got away from me, I was able to get this one and liked that it was actually one from the scout base.  For all I know it could be that same one I rode in as a kid.

Isn't this boat for sale net...recognize the bow stem in the pictures...Seliga Dreams I would paddle that boat over techno kevlar any day, any trip, forever. That is what she was made for.

HJ,
The word that came to my mind was perfect. The lines are impeccable, just gorgeous.
It's nice to have something you can truly be proud of. Good for you!

I was able to get an original Seliga sticker (thanks Dan Lindberg) for the new deck....
