This is a remarkable piece of history, a 1931 Heavy Water Model Old Town Guide 16’ Sailing Canoe that is complete and ready for a new owner. I was informed that ties canoe shipped on June 20th of 1931 which makes it a 92 year survivor! The canoe has been well-maintained and is in great condition for its age. There are a couple of areas that the wood is showing its age, but it’s very integral Ana solid. I haven’t put it on the water, but from the condition it looks very water worthy!
The 16’ canoe is made by the well-known brand Old Town and is perfect for a complete restoration. The canoe has been built to last and is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Old Town brand. I’ve included a picture of how it has been stored for many years prior to me purchasing it at an estate sale. If you’ve been looking for one you already know that one in this condition is hard to find! Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this piece of history.
Note: I used a graph and serial number to date this boat so I could be off by a year or two either way, but I’m sure it’s close. I’ve attached the original build sheet for this canoe thanks to a kind member here on classifieds board! This boat is for sale locally in Indianapolis, IN so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. If a bid is placed on classifieds board, it will sell to the highest bidder. I would also deliver the canoe up to 300 miles for $1.50/loaded mile.
If you want to use this option, please contact me prior to bidding. Thanks for looking and good luck.
