Help me identify this boat, please.

Recently lost my grandfather and in looking through old photos I found this one of him with his boat. This is the first boat I remember riding in and would love to find one like it. Any help is appreciated.

That logo looks very familiar... but I can't get the name in my head...

I can add this: It's circa 1962

See if this looks any better, I added a little light to the photo posted above.
It makes the logo easier to see. Sorry to hear about your loss,
No doubt as CW said, an Arkansas Traveler, and a pretty cool old pic as well.
The motor appears to be about a 1964 Johnson, possibly a 33 or 40 hp?
