The Old Town canoe with serial number 175431 is shown as 17 feet long, an Otca model with 2 ¾ inch planking, mahogany decks, and fitted with a keel. The stern seat was moved 2 inches forward. The canoe was built between December 1965 and January 1966. The original exterior paint color was red. It was shipped to Pompton Plains, New Jersey on March 14, 1966. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached below.
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 doesn't match your canoe.
Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
