OT 48586 16

[ddewees]

This is the serial number of a canoe that has been hanging in my barn for several years. I'm pretty sure I would have asked you for the build record when I took it in, but I cannot find it now (both my memory and the boat have suffered from aging, it seems.) May I beg you to look it up again?
Thanks,

The build record for the Old Town with serial number 48586 shows a 17 foot long Otca that shipped to Michigan so that isn't a good match. Your thread at the link below shows several similar numbers. My guess is that you really have number 46586. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question. Thanks,

Benson

Hello you guys,
I have an opportunity to buy Old Town #46686-16. Have not laid eyes on it yet, but would like to know the details. Can you post the build record?
Thanks,
Don in Vermont

(I just sent Annie my WCHA dues, so feel quite entitled this morning!)

Benson, you are right about the number - it is OT 46586, which we established years ago. Sorry to ask you to go over the same ground again. Since I am passing the canoe along to someone else, with any luck this is the last you will hear of it, at least from me. Many thanks for your help with these records, and for your dedication to preserving canoe history.
Best,
