Maxwell,
Old Town number 175473 13 was a 13-foot fifty pounder built in 1965 and shipped in 1966 to St. David, Penn. It had 2 3/4 inch planking and a keel. The rear seat was moved forward two inches. It was originally dark green. There was another build record card, which were usually created when a boat had been returned for repairs or something. I'm not sure this card belongs with this boat, and I can't interpret it very well, but I suspect it means the hull was fiberglassed.
The scans of these records are attached below-- click to get a larger image. These scans and several hundred thousand others 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
If you are selling your canoe and plan to use this build record information as part of an ad, please consider giving the WCHA credit for this information on eBay or craigslist or wherever your canoe is listed.
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.
