Hello all!

My wife and I purchased an Old Town canoe in anticipation of a summer full of fun for our little family. Although it is a little rough, it has great potential!

The serial number found on it is 171761 16. Any further insight about it's origin and history would be greatly appreciated.
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 171761 is a 16 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built between January and March, 1962. The original exterior paint color was red. It shipped on April 5th, 1962 to Philadelphia, Penna. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind 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 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.

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,

Benson
