I've been speaking with REI regarding a gunwale (and other parts) order
for my 16' fiberglass Old Town canoe.

Does it have to be an Old Town gunwale? Around here, I can get gunnels
made of any sort of material (aluminum, plastic, ash etc) to repair or make
a canoe. Unless there's something special about the Old Town, you might
be able to use a generic gunwale and buy closer to home.

I had a local cabinet shop do me a set of 14' ash gunwales for $60. Much
nicer than aluminum.

Think globally, shop locally.
