I would have to agree.
HI... After checking through MY downloaded records I find that I would have to agree with Benson Gray's evaluation. My downloaded information also does not cover the serial number you posted. BUT IF i follow the information I do have, I also get the 1980's as a probable time frame. There is one point that I might caution you about and that is to make absolutly certain that you have read the serial number correctly. Benson is correct (And he should be) in indicating that the serial number ends in the lenght of the canoe, So if you canoe is , lets say sixteen foot... The last two numbers of your canoe should be 16 following a space between the preceding numbers. You can determine this by measuring the overall lenght of your canoe. I would also caution you to be carefule not to confuse numbers with 'cerrifs' to be letters. They can be easily confused. I know, I made that mistake too. "Cerrifff"s are those little 'tails' on the letters... For a good example, check the font selection for TIMES NEW ROMAN in you word proccessing program.
