Curious about Wooden Canoes
I found this old canoe on the burn pile at camp and decided to restore it. I believe it may be an Old Town 17'. The serial number is 20555 17. Any information would be appreciated.
Might want to check the serial number again; there may be another "1" in front of the "2"?
Any idea where I can get plans of the back rests you mention ?
Do I carry on with my restoration stories and pictures here or is there a more appropriate thread ?
Allan,
I might add that the canoe is on the nicer end of Old Towns. Not sure of you wood working abilities but you can purchase replacement parts through Island Falls Canoe Co. I would certainly take advantage of that with a new deck or two.
Enjoy!
