Can you please provide build information / build sheet for serial # 164866 17

Your canoe is a 17' CS Grade (Common Sense or Middle Grade) OTCA. It was equipped with half ribs, a keel, outside stems, a floorrack and a bang plate the full length of the keel. It was built in 1956, painted dark green and shipped to Middletown, OH

The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.

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. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.
