My neighbor - an older gentleman, recently gave me this canoe (and another one - a Folbot?).
I am really interested in getting this restored, but I wanted to get some information on it.
Here is what I know:
- Serial number: 17532 ? (there is a picture of the s/n)
- My neighbor said he picked up in Maine over 50 years ago from a guy who kept it in his barn. The neighbor always kept it covered but never worked on it.
- My neighbor took it to the Old Town headquarters. They said the serial number was an E.M. White canoe. This would've been in the 1960's or 1970's.
- It is 17' in length
Also, if anybody knows anybody in the Atlanta area that could help repair or recanvas this, I would really appreciate the contacts.
The last picture is the Folbot. I can't find any information on these anywhere on the internet! I know it is not wood but if anybody has information on these, I would appreciate. My neighbor built that canoe in 1973 from the kit Folbot sent.
Thanks - I am excited to start my wood canoe journey!!
