Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town with serial number 158193 is a 15 foot long lapstrake outboard model boat with a keel, an outside stem, and a floor rack. It was built between July and August, 1952. The original exterior was varnished clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on August 4th, 1952 to Rangeley, Maine. A scans 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 boat. Page 26 of the 1950 catalog at the link below has more details. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
