I was given a boat with absolutely no identification. It was a pasture decoration. But salvageable. No brand marking, no license on front and no hin. The only numbers I could find were the motor. 1976 mercruiser 165hp. Can this find be saved?

If it's a 1976, then on the back of the boat there should be a stamped number called a HIN (Hull ID Number). That should tell you what it is.

If it can be salvaged is pretty tough to tell knowing nothing about it. But, most likely she's gonna' be a LOT of work to make sea worthy. Expect a lot of rot, rebuilding, work and expense.

Welcome aboard.
