On mine its a small metal stamp on the back of the boat on the right hand side (looking at the transom) right under the carrying handle and ski ring.....not sure where yours is, but thats where i would look first

Mine is near console, in the walkway between bridge and open bow.

Hurst Enterprises out of Orlando went out of business in 1980, hull id number will start with HUU.<br /><br />Hurst Performance boats out of Clanton AL, out of business in 2003, id will start with HST.

i found the id # it is hst80009m77a. is this a decent model and do you know what year it may be.

Condition is a lot more important than model or year.

the condition is great. it is all fiberglass inside and out. just needs to be cleaned up a bit. the reason im trying to find year and manufactur is to make sure the parts are still available. when i pull up hurst on the internet i cant find hardly anything.

Re: what kind of boat is this

Like Rosco said;<br /><br />Hurst Performance boats out of Clanton AL, out of business in 2003.<br /><br />Manufacture date August 1977.<br /><br />There are probably no parts on that boat that wouldnt be avaliable from a source other than the dealer.<br /><br />Fiberglass hulls are built by the manufacturer then rigged with someone elses hardware.
