Help Identifying

[swift53]

Fellow members,
I live in El Salvador, and would appreciate advice on what kind of a canoe
I own and if it is worthwhile restoring. Labor here, is inexpensive, knowledge
and great workmanship are not predominant. Yet with good guidance, I can
handle a great restoration.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Regards,
Alberto Guirola

Hi Alberto,

It sure looks like an Old Town Otca model. If you can locate a serial number, which would be stamped on the inboard, upper face of both stems, we may be able to confirm this, and possibly learn when it was shipped to El Salvador.

Cheers,
Dan

Daniel,
Thank you, I will be back in El salvador on Saturday.
I can take more photos if you like.
I am lost on the teminology as on where the serial #s
would be...
Would you have a photo of an original/restored of this
canoe?
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Alberto
