I had a 17' square stern Grumman some 40 years ago. Memory tells me it weighed about 80 pounds. Would go like crazy with a 5 hp.

All I can add is that I think Grumman started building aluminum canoes after WWII, and Abercrombie & Fitch used to be a high end sporting goods store (NY based, a step up from L.L. Bean), nothing to do with the clothing company of today.
