I'm looking for information/build sheets on three Old Town Canoes:
(1) 15' Lightweight FOUND on an old post on this forum from >15 years ago—so cool! The poster was musing about selling it, and appears to have done just that to the person I bought it from. It's so exciting to learn a bit more of the story for this boat. Kudos to you all for maintaining this awesome resource.
(2) 18' with serial #236058. There's no canvas or paint, just a wood grain finish that may have been from a later restoration.
(3) 13' that must be a Fifty Pound. The serial number on this one is hard to parse because of backwards/inverted numbers. My best guess is #177237. Or is the "1" both upside down and put on the wrong side of the rest of the serial number? The paint is definitely lighter/cooler than "Dark Green," and closest to "Medium or Brilliant Green" from this 1920s color chart.
Stern end stamp looking over the starboard side (stern is to L):
