Good day to you all,
I have an 18' Old Town wood/canvas canoe that I'm planning to sell. I bought this canoe from a friend back in 1988 with the intention of restoring it. Sometime in the distant past, a previous owner had stored this fine craft upside down on the ground, which rotted the inwhale & outwhale at each of the ends ( bow & stern ). Anyway......except for the "gunwhales" and keel, the hull is in excellent condition. The canvas was somewhat brittle and peeling at several stress points when I got it and I eventually removed it (still have it though). The serial number appears to be "1 5 ? 0 6 7", but I've never been able to clearly ID this serial number.
This model resembles an 18' guide, but I can't say for sure without making some comparisons of the various models.
It appears I will never get to this project, so I think it's time to let go of it. What do you suppose it's worth......ball park ?
Regards, Vic
