I'm repairing an Old Town 18' motor boat probably made in the 40's? Would love the build record if possible. #161790 18'
Thanks for any info.
 
The Old Town boat with serial number 161790 is an 18 foot long, AA (or top) grade, all wood sea model with a mid deck, a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between February and March, 1954. The original exterior colors were fire red on top and hard racing green on the bottom. It shipped on March 18th, 1954 to Boston, Mass. A scanned copy of this build record can be found by following the link behind the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more 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.

Pictures of this and other Old Town boats are available from http://store.wcha.org/The-Complete-Old-Town-Canoe-Company-Catalog-Collection-CD-ROM.html in the Old Town Catalog Collection. It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
