Hello,
I just bought an old Old Town canoe, serial number 200932.
It is not a wooden one but I was hoping to find more info on it.... specs etc...
I believe it is 17ft Chipewyan, but was hoping for confirmation.
Thanks for any help.

Not much information is available on more recent OT canoe build records, especially non-wooden ones. OT canoe 200932 is a 17' Chipewyan built in April, 1974, originally dark green, presumably fiberglass, not Oltonar (OT's version of Royalex) because the color was sprayed, and it was shipped to Albany, NY on April 19, 1974.

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 join or 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.
