Welcome aboard:
Any paperwork you got with the boat is a good start. You can also do some looking HERE and see if you can match it up.

Sea King motors built by OMC (builders of Johnson and Evinrude) and boats were popular back in the mid to late 50's thru mid 60's as I recall for a rough ball park. Alum. boats last through eternity...less the transom wood (which can be easily replaced) if abused. Some have rivets loose that can be repaired just like they were originally installed...hammer on both sides simultaneously.....

Does it have a HIN number on the transom?
If so it's 1972 or newer.
If not it's older than 1972.

Without a HIN or some kind of code number it's going to be tough if at all.
