EDIT: Grumman P-17 "Sportabout" Deluxe "Volvo" Model (see bottom of post)

This seems to be similar; Does that P17 mean it's a 17' model?:

Per wiki, it's 1952 or newer based off when they were in Marathon, NY... before becoming http://www.marathonboat.com/index.asp.

I own two Grumman aluminum canoes. My best friend and his dad worked for Grumman. Was a huge employer on Long Island at one time, but mostly aerospace here.

Not sure any of these are correct, since your cap looks thicker, and these below are clearly aluminum...









...BINGO! (Grumman P-17 Sportabout 17)!
