Yes, I recently picked it up on Oneida Lake in New York. Thanks for the response, I'm looking forward to finding more out about this beautiful canoe.
 
Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 176436 is a 17 foot long Otca model with a keel and the stern seat mounted 32 inches from the stem. It was built between June and October, 1966. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped on April 19th, 1967 to Burnt Hills, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found 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/catalogs/old-town/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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.

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