Bob,
#174266 is 15', 50#er sold in March 1965 and delivered to Bound Broo (Boro?) NJ. It had narrow (2-3/4") planking and a keel and was painted Dark Green. It was returned to Old Town in May of that year to fix a leak in the stem and was sold as new to someone in Princton Junction, NJ 10 days later. The front and back of the build record are attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.html to join. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!
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.
