Researching a family canoe - help needed!

[Opus5150]

Good evening! Looking for any information regarding an Old Town # MCK16054M73L. I am unable to provide any photos at this time due to weather and location constraints. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Mike

Welcome, the MCK prefix on this hull identification number confirms that you have a Merrimack canoe since Old Town uses the XTC prefix. The information at https://www.usps.org/national/safety/HIN/HIN.pdf indicates that the 73L on the end shows that it is from July of 1973. See https://uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification-detail.php?id=7751 or https://merrimackcanoes.com/ for more information. Feel free to reply here if you have other questions.

Thanks for the replies! I'll hopefully be able to knock the dust off it this weekend and get it ready for river travel with my son. Appreciate the knowledge!
