Hey guys great site! I recently purchased this Montgomery Ward 3 seat aluminum canoe with paddles, Life jackets and fishing seats for $150 at an estate sale. I did a a little work on it but I cant figure out what year this this thing is. I know Grumman made canoes for Montgomery Ward but there`s no Grumman markings on it. The model is 26179 Serial# DEMF1416M73F. It`s a nice boat but I`ve searched and can`t find much info at all about it especially what year. Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

Welcome aboard.

I ran the HIN through my validator program and:

Hull Identification Number DEMF1416M73F


Manufacturer: Starcraft Marine Manufacturer Status: Plant Closed
Serial No. F1416 Address: Po Box 517, 201 Starcraft
Topeka
Indiana
46571
United States
Brands: Not Listed
Manufacturer's Website: Data Unavailable
Certification Date: Not Listed Integrity Check Passed
Model Year: 1973


So it looks like a Starcraft canoe made for Monkey Wards. not made by Grumman.
