Unidentified Russel Boats

Midland, ON Hull 888. Robert Cox comments (Oct. 28, 2018): "This boat comes from Kapuskasing. Wayne Jones Construction of Midland. Now his son owns it. Tom Jones has the hull 888 dozer boat from Kapuskasing. The story from him is his dad left one boat in Kapuskasing, may be the one still there. Jones in Midland took a bunch of boats from Kap to Midland." 888 would put the build year as 1949-1951. This boat might be Orville (built in 1950).
