16' Chestnut CHN47318M75K

[Steve Ambrose]

Owner tells me the above number is on a metal tag, not stamped in the stem. I'm not familiar enough with Chestnuts to know if this is normal or not. Any information would be helpful.

CHN was the US Coast Guard MIC (Manufacturer Identification Code) for Chestnut Canoe Company. Your canoe was built in 1975 and exported to the United States.

Prospector?

Any idea what model this is?
