My father bought a green Old Town canoe years ago and I have fond memories of taking it down the Manistee River near Grayling Michigan. It remains in good shape and I would appreciate knowing more about it. I recently learned that I might be able to get a build sheet for it. The serial number is #183692. Thank you for any help you could give me.

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 183692 is a 16 foot long Otca model with a keel and outside stems. It was built between August and October, 1969. The original exterior paint was dark green. It shipped on October 7th, 1969 to Birmingham, Michigan. A scan 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match. Canoes with a family connection are always extra special. Feel free to reply if you have any other questions.
