Need Oldtown serial no. search

Robertson or Oldtown serial no. search

Any info on an OLDTOWN sponson canoe - 17ft. The Owner says..
Serial number from the stem is 1124 TRR 60.
Tri-lobe deck with sponsons it looks like. Also see a hole in the seat for a mast, so it appears to be sailing rigged. Dragonfly says tri-lobe deck appears more like a Robertson? Anyways...


Thanks

Hi,

It's not an Old Town. Check these threads for info on Robertson and other Charles River builders.

It would appear that the owner read the ser. number wrong...it should be 1124 JRR CO not TRR 60.

The Old Town serial number pattern is 5 or 6 digits, a gap and two digits for the length, as in 123456 - 17. Your number is not an Old Town. Post pictures! Bow profile, distinguishing features, how many cant ribs, what type of hardware (brass steel, slot head, Robertson head, etc.), types of wood used. Tom McCloud
