Got this from a guy up in Old Orchard Beach. Texted me out of the blue and said i could have his old canoe project because he was too old to build it anymore.
He said that it has been in his barn since 1989 because it received damage from tree limbs and hail. Honestly it is in beautiful shape and needs a bit of wood work to be 100% again.
He said the original owner was one of his closest friends and ordered it new from Old Town. At one point of her ownership of the canoe it was hit by a tree and sent back to Old Town for repairs.
He has temporarily misplaced the Paperwork and build sheet from Old Town, and the seats. But they are in his barn somewhere he said and will call me when he find them.
