Old Town 238387 17

The Old Town canoe with serial number 238387 is a 17 foot long Molitor model with a FLSB (full length stem band?), a nameplate, and a keel. It weighed 84 pounds and was built between June and August, 1981. The original exterior fiberglass was left clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on September 2nd, 1981 to Gainesville, Florida. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
