Old town HW Serial number search

[Tim Arthur]

Just bought a restored Old Town HW.
Sponsons and a mast holder but unfortunatly no sail kit. Serial number is 125917 18. Has a most unusual floor rack.
Any info on this serial number and even better some pictures of what the boat would have looked like coming off the line would be appreciated.

The build record for this canoe is available at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?10747 with some other information. The floor rack was probably added after it left the factory since it's not mentioned on the build record. Many pictures of canoes like yours are available from http://store.wcha.org/The-Complete-Old-Town-Canoe-Company-Catalog-Collection-CD-ROM.html if you want additional details. The pages at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?10219 and http://www.smallboat-shop.com/other_work_2.htm also have some good pictures of sponson canoes. Please reply here if this doesn't answer your questions. Thanks,

Benson
