White canoe ID?

[ReedLeb]

Looking for info on a fiberglass White canoe, Old Town Maine, # WHC70298M83J.
17' with wood sandwiched between glass layers on bottom.
Replacing gunwales and decks then ready to go back in the water.
Thanks in advance Benson

This is probably serial number 270298 but the scanned records stop shortly after 250000 so we don't have any additional information available to share. The hull identification number and information at https://www.usps.org/national/safety/HIN/HIN.pdf indicates that it was made in May, 1983. It is probably the White Commander as shown in the White catalog below from that era.
