You may need to verify the numbers in your canoe since I don't believe that they have issued a serial number that high yet. The information at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?791 may help if you aren't sure where to look. The scanned Old Town records only go up to 210999 so no one here can tell you much about a canoe with a seven digit serial number.
My guess is that you may have the Old Town canoe with serial number 150178. This is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, and a keel. It was built between January and May, 1948. The original exterior paint color was geranium red. It shipped on June 16th, 1948 to Naples, Maine.
A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at 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.
Please reply here if you have any other questions.
