White Heart canoe company?
Posted by: yatipope on Oct-11-12 7:57 PM (EST) Category: Canoes

Anyone ever heard of White Heart Canoe and Kayak Company supposedly out of Oregon? There is a canoe on FB for sale that the owner claims to be an Old Town and made of Kevlar BUT the serial number begins with WHC which is made by White Heart according to the on-line USCG MFGR codes. Can't find anything on-line!

  Call Old Town
  Posted by: kayamedic on Oct-11-12 8:50 PM (EST)

directly on the phone and give them the HIN. They may have the build record or be able to tell you indirectly that the seller is full of BS.

Its also possible that the HIN has been painted over or obscured so that things are tougher to figure out.

  Owner not informed!

The seller is actually a recent owner and NOT really educated about canoes. He was TOLD by the previous seller that it was an Old Town and just assumed it to be true. I am sure the Hull ID number is accurate and therefor sure its a White Heart. I just would love to hear if anyone knows ANYTHING about them!

Go to Yahoo.
Type in White Heart Canoe Co.
Press search.

Took me about 45 seconds to find it.

  Kind of interesting

I searched with all kind of combinations using Google and never got a hit. Yahoo got it on first try. Kind of interesting that google did not return anything. If I can not find something in google I need to remember to try a couple of the other search engines.

Maybe the OP had the same result with whatever was his default search engine.

OK I did try several search engines (but NOT yahoo) so thanks BOB for the heads up. Yeah I DID mean CL, not FB! Well anyway I just was hoping someone with first hand knowledge of their canoes and quality of build might comment here but since they only lasted about 5 years they probably didn't make many canoes.
