Howie Wooden Canoes are in the Blood Jun 9, 2026 #1 Did Old Town make a 16' with 3 full size thwarts? Thought I'd ask the experts before I drove a few hours as these days I'm not interested in anything over 16ft. I know PenYan did (the Scout I believe)...

Benson Gray Canoe History Enthusiast Staff member Jun 9, 2026 #2 Middle thwarts were optional but not common on 16 foot long Old Town canoes. See https://wcha.org/classified-archive/Old-Town-Yankee-16-1940-2-29-24.pdf for an example of a 16 foot long Yankee model from 1940 with three thwarts. Benson Last edited: Jun 10, 2026
