Hi Looking for info on OT #144644 should be a 16' Lake Boat with sponsons. Thanks.
 
The Old Town with serial number 144644 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, square stern model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, outside stems, floor rack, and sponsons. It was built between March and May, 1946. The original exterior paint color was dark green with a G. S. (Guide's Special) green bottom. It shipped on June, 28th, 1946 to Bangor, 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 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. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
