Greetings. I have an Old Town Canoe with serial number 210329. The complete number on the starboard aft plate is XTC10329M76D. Could you tell me the manufacture year, model, and material this canoe was made from? Thank you for you help!

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. It is made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic which was also known as Oltonar or Royalex. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
