Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with the serial number 222580 is a 17 foot long Otca model with a keel, outside stems, mahogany decks, and a Canoe King decal. It was built between August and September, 1978. The original fiberglass exterior was clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on October 27th, 1978 to North Conway, New Hampshire. A scan of 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 renew.

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
