Racine Boat Manufacturing Co. Canoe

Curious about Wooden Canoes
need help finding the year my racine boat manufacturing co. canoe was built. serial # 11506 on bow and stern hull ends. thanks
 
There are no known Racine serial number records available so we can't provide much more information. Sorry,

Benson
 
hi dan, i ordered the racine issues from annie. they just arrived and iam going through them now. even more sure the canoe is an early racine. thanks bill
 
here are some pics of the racine boat manufacturing co. canoe. details of the carrying thwart rivet attachment and serial number on forward and aft ends etc. also any idea what the round impression is on the forward deck? i don't think the Racine decal was round. thanks for any help. Bill

Once Racine moved from Muskegon to St Joeseph,MI and joined with Truscott and Shell Lake, a round decal was used. The Racine canoe I'm working on now had a metal tag on the carry thwart. All that is left are the escutcheon pins and the outline . Your canoe appears to have beveled planking as the one in my shop does.
