Hi,
My first post here. Wonderful site.
I have an opportunity to purchase an excellently refurbished 18' 1925 AA OTCA for $2,200. Have no idea whether that's a great price, but it's certainly a price I'm willing to pay. Our family presently has a Bell Northwind in the KevLight build up. I'm very pleased with it, but it's not an OT wood canvas. In the mid '80s I paddled an 18' OT Guide for two summers when I was a guide in Northern MN and Ontario. Loved it. Hated portaging the thing, but it was an absolute joy in the water. So, on to my question. Anyone know what the differences are between the two models? It looks like it's the same beam at waterline and gunwales, 1/2 less depth for the OTCA. Anything I'm missing? Rocker? Keel?
Thanks in advance!
Steve
