This is a 25 Ft cabin hardtop i am about to start work on, However I cant tell what it is. The previous owner said it was a Yamaha (so does the steering wheel, but that could be a later addition), but i cant find any yamaha boat examples anyway to compare it to. There is no identifying marks thats i can find and honestly it looks to me like a Sportman sportcraft hardtop from around around 1970.

The fiberglass and the hull looks much newer than that but it might be because of work done later on... Is it possible that Sportcraft and yamaha are the same company? I also found some "similar" looking boats from fiberform, but not identical.....

I think i can get the work done without knowing what it is, but i would like some factory specs or diagrams or something for reference, Being new to Boat work i think that would be helpfull.

Any Ideas????

Oh ya, And if ends up being the starship enterprise, i am giving it away and getting another boat, the ocean is much safer and more fun.

OK i pulled everything out of the boat and managed to find a title, and the HIN, However it might as well be in Japanese.... considering i am in Japan i suppose it actually is in japanese, If that makes any sense.

Anyway the HIN is JP-MLIT0114728B

Pictures below, SO i know know its a yamaha, and after a week of online searching i think i have gotten close to identifying the Model (FR-20 something) However i cant find any record of that model prior to 1990 and al of them after that i have found have an outboard motor, and this one has twin sterdrives.... ANy ideas on where to find the rosetta stone?
