I know, I'm a busy bee here on the forum today. I'm trying to determine which 16ft model 1983 Volvo Penta I/O 125A/270 Invader, made in Giddings TX by Invader Marine that I have. It has a solid front deck, which I believe is not a bow rider. That's if I'm correct assuming that a bow rider is a boat with a walk thru windshield and seating in the bow.<br /><br />I've checked NADA, boat cover manufaturers and other sources and have come up with only 2 models from 1983. A 16T BR which is noted as a fishing boat and a 16V BR. There is a difference in weight and length between the 2 per NADA. I believe the BR stands for bow rider. Since mine is a closed deck, I'm askin if anyone might know which model I have. The reason I'd like to know is that some sites for different products ask which model the product is for.

The Vessel Certificate Of Ownership shows PIGPR under Series-Body. Does anyone know what that means?

I have the same issue. I have a 1988 Invader bowrider with a 4.3 Mercruiser and Alpha 1 drive. It is listed as 18ft 8in on the title but the title only has " fiberglass hull" where the model should be. I know it was made in Giddings, Tx and sold at a boat dealership in San Antonio but that is about all.
