Can you post pictures of the serial numbers from each end? The tips at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?791 may help if you are having trouble reading any of the digits. The build record below for serial number 132030 shows a 17 foot long canoe. I also checked 132080, 182030, and 182080 but didn't find any 20 foot long canoes. Which digit is the least clear? Thanks,

Benson

The Old Town canoe with serial number 172030 is from 1962 as described at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?4341 with a copy of the build record. The charts at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/oldtown_chart.html can help if you just want a rough date in the future. Feel free to reply here (or there) if you have any other questions. Thanks,

Benson
