1931 Old Town??

[Phil Lantagne]

Looking for any information to identify this boat. Appears to be a 1931 Old Town Candin pictured on page 19 of the Dragon Fly CD (dinghy section).

Length: 11 ft, 2 in
Transom: 50 in
Beam: 58 in
Depth: 18 in
All brass hardware; fasteners and clinch nails
Keelson/transom steel nails
2-1/4 in by 5/16 in half ribs (white cedar?)
Planking 5/32 in by 3-3/4 in (red cedar)
Mahogany seats, transom, and trim
Oak or Ash stem, keel, keelson, and bilge keels

Cannot find any serial # on boat - Where would number typically be found on this model?
Any information or history would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil.

Not sure about that specific model, but Old Town boats with transoms may have a serial numbers on the transom edge or the brace. Good luck! Once you find a number, we can look 'er up!
