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.
