Beautiful work, as always, Chris. R C should be immensely pleased.
As regards Benson's comment about early Charles River type models, the closest thing I can recall seeing is an old model that sold in an Eldred's auction several years back. It appeared to be of that style, and was catalogued as "an early Old Town" or "possibly Kennebec" piece at the time, if memory serves. I believe it was around 50" in length. I saved the photos, as posted below.
