Thank you! I think you have it correctly identified as the build record matches a lot of what I found during the restoration. I purchased it from Rolf Warneke (AKA - yeolwoodsman) in northern New Jersey I thought it was odd that they took almost a year to complete the build, any idea as to why that would be so?
I will be renewing my membership, but thanks for the reminder. I also have to renew my Michigan Chapter soon.
I have three more canoes sitting in my rafters that I will be getting to soon (one at a time though). One is 143346-18 which I believe is also an Old Town. It is in pretty bad shape and broken in half at the middle thwart so I will surely test my (lack of) skills in that restoration. Another has been glassed and I don't have the serial number handy. The last is a J.B. O'Dette & Sons built by my great-grandfather JB. (I am named John Baptiste after him.)
Again, thanks for all the information. It is greatly appreciated by all of us in the WCHA.
John
