Hello, I have just picked up a 16' Old Town Canoe. Serial: 186451. I believe it is a Wahoo with a red bottom and white top. Looking for any info on it.
 
Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 186451 is a 16 foot long Wahoo model with a lateen sailing rig, white decks and a red hull that weighed 83 pounds. It was built from April to May, 1971 and shipped on June 3rd, 1971 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The back side of this card indicates that the hull had some shrinkage on the bottom. Scans showing both sides 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/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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or renew.

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