There is not much left of this canoe. It will be our first rebuild project.

- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 173303 is a 15 foot long fifty pound model with a keel. It was built between September and December, 1963. The original exterior paint color was O. T. (Old Town) Yellow. It shipped on April 7th, 1963 to Spokane, Washington. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Good luck with your restoration,
Benson
