Yes it is. Good eye! I believe it is 17' - does that sound right?
We lived in Columbus, OH, & my father took the canoe on fishing trips into the Boundary Waters of northern MN & used a 3 1/2 horsepower Evinrude (he called it a
"kicker") to go 60-some miles into the wilderness, including a couple portages. Usually 6-8 guys would go, 2 per canoe. I think he went about 6 times. One of my regrets is that I never went with him. My brother went once.
The photo was probably taken around 1980. My brother still has the canoe, although I don't think it has been in the water for quite awhile.
