I have a fully restored vintage Old Town 16’ canoe serial #149724. I’d love any information anyone knows about it! I’m also curious about value.

Hello, We’re looking to sell our Old Town Discovery 169 canoe. Can anyone help us decipher what this serial number means? Tried doing some research to figure it out but I’m a bit confused. Thanks! Chris

Hi, this Old Town has been at our family camp in Vermont and I am looking for information about it! I know it was sold from Edgar Chiott and there are pictures of my grandmother in it when she was young- so we are thinking 1930s? Anyone know the model?

Hello I’m hoping to gain a little more information about a canoe I recently inherited… purchased by my father’s father. It’s an Old Town wood and canvas. The serial number is 182544 … length is 16’. I’m currently transporting it from NC to WY and will do any restoration there. Would love to...

Just wondering how much paint it takes to put 4 coats of paint on the hull of my restoration 16' Old town Yankee? One Gallon? Thanks,

Hi all -- We're in the process of re-covering (truth be told: has become a bit of a restoration as well) our "family" Old Town canoe. I remembered that 35+ years ago we'd called Old Town and they'd mailed us a copy of the 1927 (??) bill of sale. It's fun to learn that the internet has become...

Benson, could you share a 1990 Old Town catalogue page? If I understand HIN correctly, this will be Johnson Outdoors (Old Town) build number 45847, January 9, 1990. It is a 15 foot Royalex Pathfinder. I'm a sucker for OT Royalex! If I include my Snapper kayak, this is the 12th one that has...

Hello, new to this group and forum. Can someone chime in and give some general advice on the value of this boat? Are these boats desirable if restored because she is a sister boat to the famous "Tinkerbelle"? I am looking into buying a Whitecap that likely fits into the category of: Useable as...

Hi! I am new here! I have received 2 Old Town boats - I believe 1 canoe & 1 row boat - that were purchased by my great grandfather in July of 1973. One is a special order 18’ canoe and one is a 18’ guide old town. I have all the original receipts and paperwork, mail, pamphlets, etc. The canoe...

I'm thinking about my first canoe restoration project and getting close to buying an Old Town canoe with serial number 139254 (17?)... the last two digits aren't visible. Any info or advice anyone could lend would mean a lot.

Hi all, Just picked up this old canoe, it needs restoration (I think I’m ready to start this journey…). Can someone provide any information? Previous owner described it as a 1914 17’ Old Town HW. Thanks in advance. Frank

I'm starting to think about restoring my grandfather's Old Town canoe... Serial number 81366 17. Can I get some information on it? This canoe has seen better days, but I am looking forward to learning about how to do this. I've restored cars and motorcycles, but this is my first wooden canoe.

Hi there, I recently acquired an older OT Tripper and was directed this way from another forum as a possible means of looking up more info regarding this boat according to its serial number. It's a bit hard to read on the hull but I believe the code is XTC45730M83B. I think it might be old...

Hello All, I’ve been a quiet member since I joined last fall. Reading and learning from all of you has been a great way to enjoy winter evenings. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's time to get my canoe project on the books. * * * I’m an old house guy, so spring & summer...

Hello WCHA! My name is Ryan and my grandpa was born in Bangor and grew up in Alton, Maine just 10 miles from Old Town. My family were potato farmers in Alton and my grandpa used to talk about the Penobscot, Old Town, and what it was like growing up there. He eventually came to Oklahoma City...

Hello, the serial number is 46074 16 Thanks Palma

Hey everyone, I'm ready to canvas and put replacement gunwales on my boat. It's an 18' CS model with 'closed spruce rails'. I'm completely unsure what the pieces and profiles are to cover the edge of the canvas. Attached is a closeup of the inwale and cedar siding, and a diagram of the 2 ways I...

has been in a barn for 30+ years pretty good shape considering see pics

Was gifted a 17ft OT Canadienne Canoe from a family member. It looks to have a kevlar layer due to the tone on the inside but I can't be sure. The.. what I assume is royalex seems to be a little faded and brittle but otherwise in good shape. Just did a 3 day trip with a few rapids and put it to...
