The chart at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/oldtown_chart.html indicates that a canoe from 1968 should have a serial number around 180,000 which is good since the scanned records don't extend to the 400,000 range. My guess is that you have the Old Town canoe with serial number 183084 which is an 18 foot long Guide model with no keel and a stern seat that may be 31 inches from the middle or end. It was built between April and May, 1969. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped on may 15th, 1969 to Presque Isle, Maine.
This scan and several hundred thousand others 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
