Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
This is a 13.5' long square-stern boat, with small engine, that I recently bought from a guy who said it was an Old Town. He said it used to have a steering wheel on the left side but he removed it.
The beam is about 4 feet. The boat has a deck about 4' long; it appears there used to be a windshield attached. There are three seats. There's no canvas; just painted wood with ribs about 2" wide.
The serial number is stamped -- on the bottom near the bow -- into the wood piece that runs along the center of the boat from stem to stern (basically it's the top side of the keel, but I think it goes by a different name inside the boat).
I've talked with Old Town and they say they never had a "B" model, and that their serial numbers are just a set of 5 or 6 digits. I thought it might be a Penn Yan -- it sort of looks like the '54 Commander in this page: http://www.classicboatworks.net/repairexamples.html -- but I couldn't find anything to confirm the "B 54 159" serial number.
Thanks, Jeff
