I recently bought a boat, bill of sale states it is a 1979 Sunrunner. I know it's an 18 footer, so it's a 190 something, not sure if it's a 190B, 190CF or 190 CV. Anyone able to help me out with more info? Apparently even as a thumbnail. I can't upload a pic to this chat....

along with the BOS, you should have received a title or registration (depending on your states requirements)

being 1979, look up the HIN

HIN should be stamped in the stern. Usually just below the rub rail somewhere.

Welcome aboard.

I am in |Canada. I did a search on the HIN, and it didn't give me any other info about the boat itself, perhaps the site I paid for wasn't a good one? HIN XVE90707M79E

also, start reading up on the 470 motor that is in there. just do a google search of mercruiser 470 problems or mercruiser 470 upgrades
