Hello,
I purchased an older Old Town PENOBCOST that's approx 15.5 or 16 feet. Found this on the hull: XTC43429M82I . The last digit is an i. Any info would be appreciated, thank you.

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with hull identification number XTC43429M82I and serial number 243429 is a 16 foot long, ABS Chipewyan Penobscot model that weighed 74 pounds. It was built between April and May, 1982. The original exterior vinyl color was green. It shipped on May 18th, 1982 to Tukwila, Washington The back side of the scan indicates that there were some small skin breaks on the inside. Scans showing both sides this build record can be found below.

These scans 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 donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or renew.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Do you know the hull material used on this boat?

Your hull is made from Oltonar/Royalex. Page two of the 1983 catalog at https://adirondack.pastperfectonline.com/Library/6FA5EB5A-A73B-4953-AAF9-713565518400 has more details.
