Hi we just cleaned out a storage of deceased family member and came across a beautifully restored 15' Old Town. Serial # 182436.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
 
Hi, Your canoe is a 15" Trapper Model with keel. It was built in 1969, fiberglassed and sold to a store in San Francisco. There was an inquiry in 1991.

The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.

Any ideas on how to best go about selling this? My fiance's father was the original owner and passed a few years back. He had a full restoration done and never saw water after.

Thanks!
