Hi Don,
Build record 148966 seems to belong to a 15' 50 pounder. Perhaps you could recheck the #?

Hi Don,
That number looks better. 143966 appears on a 18' Guide in CS grade with ash seats, decks and thwarts. It also had half ribs and a keel. It was painted GS (Guide Special) Green and sold to Bulldog Camp, The Forks, Maine. There is a notation that it was taken on car - probably the customer picked it up at the factory on 4/26/46 A copy of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue.

If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
