17' Otc
Upon further inspection this serial number seems off. I believe this canoe to be a 17 foot OTCA. With any luck I'll have this boat in front of me in about a week or so. At that point I'll have a better idea what the serial number is.

The scans of Old Town records we have on CD only go through 210999... but if your canoe's serial number is higher than that, you could ask Old Town for the record. I believe there's a fee for the service.
Let us know what you find!

After 2600 miles of driving we finally have this canoe in our hands. I now have the correct serial number if anybody has the time to search the build records.
It is 171586-17.
Thank you in advance,

Kathy,
Thanks! This canoe has spent all that time in the Seattle area and will now begin the long journey home to Alaska with us!

Well-traveled canoes
Glad she's found a good home.
We have a Morris that began life in Maine but spent her younger years in Alaska (the canoe came with pictures)... then was taken to South Dakota... thence to lower Michigan, and now it resides in the Upper Peninsula. Some day she needs to make the trip back to Maine... after becoming "young again".

Kathy,
The best part of this find was dealing with the original owner who never really found the time to use this canoe and we feel is equally happy that it has found a good home.
We look forward to wetting it in the waters of British Columbia and the Yukon as we travel back home.
