Carelton or Old Town?

Benson/Dan,

The SN on this canoe is 3029 16 and as you know the records are sketchy in this time frame. Trying to help a member identify this one. Pic's to help.

Thanks,

Ric Altfather

Neither Old Town nor Carleton. As I outlined in another post, given the way the planking runs into the stems, the closed gunwales, and the style of the long decks, I would bet this canoe was built by the Racine Boat Manufacturing Company.
