Compare the length of yours to those listed here

I'd bet it's a 16ftr +/-, which is rated for a 75hp motor.

Did the boat come w/ a title/registration?

Please take a moment to take a look at the forum rules and guidelines list at the forum link in my signature lines below. Try not to post multiple topics in multiple forums about the same subject.

Thank you

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.

Jbcurt, I put my post in the wrong forum the first time that only has 3 posts in 2 months. I put it in the correct spot afterwards. The boat is 14 feet. Sorry I forgot to mention it. Frank are you saying this boat isn't 1996 if it is the 14 ft you speak of? What do you suspect the model number is?

Thanks. :)

If this is the last 2 numbers of the HIN:
They are 88
Looks like its a 1988 Capri. Info here:
http://boatspecs.iboats.com/Bayliner__Capri__1988/bp/34br1035s364y

The 1500 Capri was spec'd for a 50hp, and is listed as 14.67ft.
