Penn Yan Scout...

[Howie]

Picked up this 16' Penn Yan Scout this morning in Ithaca NY, #GN5080. From 1950 I presume. All original except the seats.

Wow looks immaculate, nice catch there. I hope you'll consider that shade of blue for its final colour, would look great on the water.

 

[Howie]

Well that seals it. I'm not partial to blue canoes, but this deal came with canvas, mud, and 2 cans of Epifanes in blue.

 

[Gary]

Can never go wrong with Epifanes paint, my favorite to work with bar none. Your deal just keeps getting better, way to go!

A while back I saw a web page that listed info for Penn Yan canoes - thinks like the canoe names, the stamped letter code for the name, along with other info like length. Can someone reply with that info or link please?

I saw a web page that listed info for Penn Yan canoes

I suspect that Dan Miller's page at https://woodencanoemuseum.org/builder-history/penn-yan-boat-company is what you want. This also has a nice Penn Yan catalog at https://woodencanoemuseum.org/manufacturer-catalog/penn-yan-boat-company-1928-circa from around 1928. Let me know if anyone has found a better source. Thanks,

Benson

 

[Howie]

That's it. Thank you Benson. And Dan as well!

Can't wait to see what you do with this one. There have been a lot of nice canoe's coming up for sale in Ithaca lately.
