I have an Old Town OTCA with serial number 173598. I would appreciate it if someone could provide the original build record. Thank you!

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 173598 is a 16 foot long, Otca model with a keel, sponsons, a mast seat, mast step, and rudder. It was built between December, 1963 and March, 1964. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on May 8th, 1964 to Woodruff, Wisconsin. A scan of this build record is shown 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Benson
