I finally found my moms Old town camoe after 12 years of begging my older brother to help me when I get to Cleveland Ohio this fall. We looked up old relatives grand childeren an lo and behold one of them knew its where abouts. Mom bought it used near Detroit when she was a teenager with her girl friend.
The basic hull is in great shape ,no broken ribs or rotten planking, but needs a lot of trim parts. I would like to figure how old it is. I cleaned up the area where the S.N.is and found 582 // 16. Can any body identify this?
Also trim parts ,who is the best person to contact about them.
Am a retired vocational instructor for over 30 years and have plenty of know how. Have done carpentry and cabinet making all my life.
I have rebuilt an old Morgan 25 and do a lot of racing with it and made a beleaver that the old boats can still win. I even won the Egmont race on Tampabay which was about 100 miles and beat the American Cup back-up boat Stars and Strips on corected time of over 2 hrss. of corrected time. Of coarse I used a young skipper who was running fourth place in the 49's for the olimpics, that might have helped some.
By the way Skeezix was my moms nick name.
Thanks for anyone that can help and hope to join this forum more and become a member. Grover Griffin
