Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 247400 and hull identification number XTC47400M83E is a 17 foot long Chipewyan Tripper model that weighed 80 pounds. It was built in December, 1982. The original exterior color was green. It shipped on December 29th, 1982 to dealer number 582000-2. A scan showing 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/catalogs/old-town/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 the canoe. This is made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (or ABS) plastic which was also known as Royalex and Oltonar. The 1982 catalog page at https://forums.wcha.org/attachments/54316/ has more details. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
