Sheena,

Didn't you ask this same question back on 6/26/2006 at 5:51PM? Benson replied with a copy of the build record.

Let us know if you did not receive this reply.

OK, lets see if we can help. What exactly do you need further info or clarification on...like the terms on the build record, etc.

"CS" grade is Old Town's "Common Sense" grade. CS Grade canoes would have spruce gunwales and native hardwood decks, thwarts and seats. Old Town had two other grades - AA grade with all mahogany gunwales, seats, thwarts and decks, and GS or Guides Special grade, a more workboat-like grade than CS grade would have been.
