Build record requests for Old town Guide and Molitor canoes

Woodstock

Curious about Wooden Canoes
I have two OLD TOWN canoes and was wondering if any information is available for an 18’ Guide with serial number 352045?
I recently purchased this canoe.
I also have a 17 Molitor I ordered around 5-6 years ago serial number 787067.
Is there any chance is getting build information on these canoes?
Thanks,
DJ
 
Congratulations, It is my sad duty to report that the scanned Old Town records stop just over 250,000 in 1984 so no one here can provide more detailed information for your Guide with serial number 352045. The last two digits of the hull identification number can usually provide a build year. The information at http://www.usps.org/national/safety/HIN/HIN.pdf may help you interpret this number. The Molitor with number 787067 was built by Island Falls Canoe for Old Town Canoe and they have kindly shared their build records. The record for this shown below. Let me know if you have any other questions,

Benson
