Looking to ID canoe

[josephaugust]

Hello,

I was hoping I could get some help on identifying a canoe I picked up. The former owner said they purchased it in Vermont approximately 35 years ago. Color of the hull is green and the serial number is SWE 32504-476.

Thanks so much!

Joe

My guess is that you probably have a canoe from the Stowe Canoe Company that was manufactured in April of 1976. See http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm for more information about interpreting a old hull identification number and http://uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification-detail2.php?id=11997 for more information about this company. Additional details are available if you search these forums for other messages about Stowe canoes. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
