Serial # search

The Old Town canoe with serial number 174626 is a 16 foot long F. G. (fiberglass) model that weighed 75 pounds. It was built between February and March, 1965. The original exterior gelcoat color was red on the deck with a white hull and gray on the inside. It shipped on June 15th, 1965 to Peabody, Massachusetts. The back side of the record shows the details of the layup. Scans showing both sides of this build record can be found below.

These scans and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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.
