old town

This Canoe just came up on my local Craigslist, it looks like it could be a great first restoration project. There is little info available from the seller, it's been used as a theater prop. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Any ideas what this old boat may be worth if I were to sell as is with an EZ Load Trailer? My rehab project just isn't going to happen. Thanks!

Looking for any information about the history of this canoe, which we picked up at the Brimfield antique fair in the 1990s. We think it's a 50 Pounder. We are beginning repair/restoration. Thanks! Jon Lynes

Maine Maritime Museum's 50th anniversary exhibit includes this 20' 1941 Old Town Guide that has never been in the water. I've posted a bit of its history and more photos on my blog, Indigenous Boats: http://indigenousboats.blogspot.com/2012/12/1941-old-town-guide-never-used.html

I have an OT canoe that needs new inwales & outwales, decks and stems. I am mostly worried that the canoe will lose it's shape when I am disassembling it. I am thinking of just cutting off the forward and rear-most couple of feet of the gunwales and using temporary battens screwed across the...

My father-in-law has kept 107497_17 in the barn rafters for years. Sound familiar? Now, with barn cleaned out, we're deciding what to do with it. It's not useable, but otherwise looks sound for restoration, better than I thought. Has a small Abercrombie&Fitch VonLengerke&Antoine tag. Also...

Hi, I currently have in my possession an Old Town canoe that is about 16 ft. and it is green. I believe it is made out of fiberglass. The serial number that I found on it is XTC55435M84F. According to the HIN, it should have been made before Aug 1st, 1984. Thank you

I am the lucky new owner of a White Cap Sailboat. Looking for any and all info or links that can help me with restoring the little guy as well as history on these boats. I am attempting to locate serial number etc. right now. Have read up on R. Manry's transatlantic trip on Tinkerbelle. Past...

Can anyone tell me info re: serial number 146725 on my 16 ft Old Town Wood & Canvass Canoe? I'm mostly interested in how old it is and was also wondering where this info is available from? Is ther somewhere on the web that I can automatically look this info up as well?

I have started restoring an Old Town canoe that has been in Oklahoma some 50 years or more. I belong to a family club that has a lodge and cabins on a creek in eastern Oklahoma. The Lodge was built in 1917 for families to escape the heat of the summers. It remains a wonderful getaway with...

I recently acquired a wood canvas canoe. Serial number on the bow and stern stems looks like 36548. I could be missing a lead number but the last 5 I'm sure of. Can anyone tell me when this canoe was made? I believe it's an Old town but am not sure. Thanks

This canoe has decks that indicate Old Town, but after contacting the company, the Old Town build record does not match the properties of this canoe. Therefore, I think it may be a Carleton. It appears to have mahogany decks and gunwales (capped). A build record will satisfy my curiosity...

Hello, Would like to know all I can about my canoe. From reading other postings, I gather that it was build c. 1954 and it is called a 50 pounder. It is green and we still use it. Bought it at an auction years ago in the Middle of the Lower Pennisula of Michigan. It is a green 13 Footer...
