Good evening,
I am requesting the build sheet for a 16' Old Town #172331, with ash decks.
Thank you,
Jody Bronson
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 172331 is a 16 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built between July and September, 1962. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on June 21st, 1963 to Newington, Conn. A scan showing 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 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 join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to renew.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your boat. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
