First post. Salvaged a broken 15' OT ABOUT 35 plus years ago. Saw this org in the UP of MI recently and saw that it could establish the original info. Never really noted the SN 177163 before. Can you help. Thanks.
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 177163 is a 15 foot long lightweight model with a keel and outside stems. It was built between November, 1966 and January, 1967. It shipped on February 10th, 1967 to Grand Rapids, Michigan. The original exterior paint color was dark green. 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 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 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. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions,

Benson
