Hi, peoples, I have been reading this for a few days and looking at the topics mainly in the restoring boats. Well today I did some trading and now own a boat motor and trailer for almost nothing . I can't find any information on this boat on the net , but this is what I have or think I have. Everything I can find pertaining to the boat (including past owner's registration) says its a Magnum 1/50 . I think its about 15 foot, fiberglass , semi V trihull, walkthru windshield. The motor is a 70 hp Johnson with "Sea King " on the back top cover, and of course the trailer. All papers indicate the boat , motor and trailer is a 1977. The boat itself is going to need some work on the seats , floor but the transom is perfect. I haven't owned a boat in several years. What I would like to know is some information on the boat itself. Does any one know about it? I think I have uploaded a picture. Would appreciate it if anyone can help

Google the hin # should tell you who built it. The last two digits of the hin are the year in most cases.
the ser# on the transom mount of the eng will tell you all you need to know about it.

As for the eng you did real well there that eng is in my opinion one of the best ever made.
