Request for build information

[Owasippe]

Looking at 669 16 serial number. Not really sure if this is an Old Town or not, based off my limited knowledge and research. Can you provide build info? Thank you.

The Old Town records do not extend back to any with three digit numbers so it will take more than a serial number alone to identify this canoe. Can you provide some pictures of the serial numbers from both ends with the surrounding area (to see if there any hidden digits), the decks, the interior details, the profile of the stem, and confirm the overall extreme length in a straight line? Thanks,

Benson

It clearly isn't an Old Town and appears to have a St. Louis Meramec (Meraco) "arrowhead" decks. See http://forums.wcha.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=35382&d=1474249438 and http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?14399 for the electronic mail address of the person who can give you more information about these. Good luck,
