I have a 1970's model Perception Nantahala Royalex 16' canoe with wood gunwales and rawhide laced seats. Does anyone know if there are replacement parts, gunwale wood, rawhide replacement seats, etc. available anywhere?

Here is one source.

They don't have a full-fledged website anymore, but when they did, they offered rawhide laced seats. They could supply the other things you want, but shipping for long items like gunwales can be steep.

Are you sure those rawhide laced seats are original?

Where are you john? I've got one (nanta.)that needs a complete overhaul and we've got 16' ash at the outfitter for sale. Shhhhh don't tell anyone because i want a set.

River and trail is basically in Harpers Ferry WV. We got ours with a shipment from Wenonah. theyre not cheap but they are high quality.
