EM White and Co. Runabout

[aji]

I understand that Old Town purchased the White Canoe Company in 1984. Would you also have build records for White canoes and boats? I have a mahogany, lapstrake 12' runabout serial no. 57-3011-12. Interested in any information I can get on the boat.

There are no known serial number records for the White Canoe Company so no one here can provide any more information. They did embed a date in their numbers so yours was probably built in 1957 as number 3011 that is 12 feet long. More information can be found in the White catalogs from this period at http://store.wcha.org/The-Historic-...pany-Catalog-Collection-Version-2-CD-ROM.html in the Historic Collection.

No, it doesn't work well with modern browsers and the images are small by current standards. The page describing this boat from the 1963 catalog is attached below. The full catalog and more can be found in the member's area of the WCHA web site at the link below.
