Hi there! I finally am getting to an 18’ Old Town project canoe that I picked up a few years ago. Needs a few ribs repaired as well as a few planks ( took a fall off of a car roof in a former life ). What can you tell me about serial #169062. Much appreciated.

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town with serial number 169062 is an 18 foot long Guide model with a keel. It was built between June and July, 1959. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on July, 8th, 1960 to Portland, Maine. 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 your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
