Joined the forum today and will join wcha when this is finished. Canoe serial number is 15 2508. Old Town sailing canoe. Was restored in Mass. and I purchased from Bass River Boatworks. Spent a great deal of time about concerns with shipping to me in OK. Neverthe less, it was punctured several times as well as cracked ribs and broken planks. I was assured none of this would happen. Regardless, I am going to take it apart, repair the damaged planks, ribs, inwale and gunnale, recanvas and paint anew. I would love any info that the serial number may provide. I look forward to making new friends on this forum once I learn more about it. Thanks for the help.
