The boat may be listed as a 1996 but I doubt it. The engine is a pre-Mercury Force--that would be prior to 1994 I suspect that is the 14 foot Capri which was rated for and always came equipped with a Force 50. It was a package deal from Brunswick--the same company that makes mercury engines and Maxxum boats. It is a very small boat and not much use for more than a Sunday ride for two people.
