Hi. I was looking for more information on this canoe before i purchased it. I believe it is a 1986-1989 otca model old town canoe. Any help would be appreciated.

The chart at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/oldtown_chart.html indicates that it was probably built around 1987. Everyone here only has access to the scanned records that stop around 1983 so there isn't much more that we can offer. It should have a hull identification number on the starboard stern that begins with XTC. The information at http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm describes how to get a date from those numbers. Other information is available from http://store.wcha.org/The-Complete-Old-Town-Canoe-Company-Catalog-Collection-CD-ROM.html in the catalogs from that era. Good luck with the purchase,

Benson
