Hi All,
I inherited this beauty but can’t properly store it, and I’d like to find good home for a fair price.
Appreciate any information, e.g., build date details/interest.
Thanks!
Marc
 
Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 178336 is a 16 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built between May and July, 1967. The original exterior paint color was pale blue. It shipped on July 11th, 1967 to Pompton Plains, New Jersey. A scan of this build record can be found below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. 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 donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. The information at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/57/ can help you value it. I would encourage you to list it at https://www.woodencanoe.org/classifieds since this is usually the fastest way to find a good new home. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Good luck with the sale,

Benson
