I just bought a Sunbird 175 I/O. I think the year model is an '85.
The plate on the boat shows SB2754400784-85 so I guess it could be an '84 or '85 model.

I had to gut the interior as it had been sitting with water in it for a few years so there is a lot of work to do.

Never done any of this before and can not tell what type of Volvo Penta 4 cylinder engine it has in it.
The out drive is marked 270 and the transom has a plate with the following information: P/N 850676-8415 S/N 256181
Looked for motor ID plate but can not find one.
Lots of raised cast numbers on the motor parts but don't know which one to go with.
Any suggestions?

I had a 1984 Sunbird 175 with a VP 270 drive/AQ125A engine. I would bet yours is the same.

Thanks for the input, had to file a lost title with the state, last place the boat was registered was Texas may be the title will give up some secrets.
