Canoe nut
I picked up an OTCA 16, the SN appears to be 14540.
Searching 14540 and 14540x, the only one that is an OTCA is 14540.
EDITED: At first I thought the inwales were mahogany, but I have been corrected (thank you Mike). Both seats and one thwart do appear to be mahogany. This means it most likely is 14540 CS OTCA 16.
It was hanging in a garage as a "some day" project for a wood worker, but he died before he got to it.
It came with outwales, one of which needs to be scarfed together and the other is missing a tip - but the holes don't line up, so they are probably from another canoe.
I was able to also get a set of new old stock mahogany outwales that were probably purchased for this project.
I have some new old stock brass stem bands. diamond head bolts and screws for the gunwales.
