Hello,
New member and first time poster here. I just inherited a beautiful 18' Penn Yan Boats wooden/Canvas canoe, that needs some TLC. In preperation for that effort, I am looking for as much info I can find on the boat. I do know that the boat has been in my family for over 50 years, and was bought new by a relative. Here's a couple pics:

Can the model and year be determined from the S/N? The serial number is OE 5358. Other than that, I imagine the caning on the set or the wood used in the gunwhale might offer clues.

Any help appreciated!
