Serial # request

[MikeJames]

I have found an old Penn Yan canoe I am planning on purchasing. I am interested in finding out as much as I can from the serial # I found. GE 5238 2. It is engraved on both the bow and the stern. Thanks to anyone that has helpful info.

That would be the 18' Guide Model, most likely built in 1952. Here is the link to the Penn Yan page in the WCHA KnowledgeBase: http://forums.wcha.org/knowledgebase/Manufacturers:Penn+Yan+Boat+Company

Attached is the catalog page from the 1952 catalog showing this model.
