I bought a 17 foot Alumacraft and I am not sure what model it is I would like to know just FMI. I can tell you it looks almost exactly like a bass tracker Pro 17 TX as far as the shape of it. There is a number plate on the back of the Hull which is... ACBU4329K990 Can some one tell me what model it is??

Or you could e-mail them to a person named Vern at Alumacraft at their web site in (Contact Information) and get a response.<br /><br />If you want to, post your findings and if you know the year I may have the Alumacraft brochure and could post information about the boat. I have a lot of that stuff in my file cabinet.

Well I got a response back today (from Vern) and he said that my serial number was not valid. I double checked the number and I had it right It is even on my title. After double checking he wanted me to send the Info to another guy (peewee) to see what he could find. <br /><br />Also the year of my boat is a 1990.

Well no Response back yet from PeeWee. I would think that a rep at Alumacraft could figure out by looking at the number I provided what "Reel Poor" has just showed me but I guess not. Thanks for the info Reel Poor!

Did Alumacraft make a "Maverick" in 1990 I found a pic of several on the Net and mine looks Identical to it except they were from 1998 and they were only 16' not 17' ?

Re: What Do I have???

Gee.... don't have the 1990 Alumacraft brochure but have 1988, '89, '91, '92 and a lot of others and other manufactures. I have too much, because I'm not just partial to Alumacraft.<br /><br />Alumacraft made the Maverick in the above years, but I don't know the start year of production. It is in their Modified Vee Bass Boat Series.<br /><br />In these years the largest boat is the MV Super Bandit, next was the MV Bandit (17' 5" center length) but was dropped after 1988. So in 1989 the second largest boat is the MV Maverick and all the other boats in the series are 16' or less in length. I typed in the MV Super Bandit to compare. No scanner for my computer. Sorry no 1990, but hope this helps.<br /><br />MV Super Bandit - Specifications for 1988, '89, '91, '92<br />Center Length 17' 8"<br />Maximum Beam 74"<br />Bottom Width 52" <br />Transom Height 20"<br />Side Height 23"<br />Hull Gauge .075<br />Rec. H.P. Range 40 - 90<br />B.I.A. Rated Capacity / Lbs. 1205<br />Approx. Weight / Lbs. 740<br /><br />MV Maverick - Specifications for 1988, '89, '91, '92<br />Center Length 16' 4" for 1988 and '89<br />Center Length 16' 8" for 1991 and '92<br />Maximum Beam 72" <br />Bottom Width 48"<br />Transom Height 20"<br />Side Height 21"<br />Hull Gage .072<br />Rec. H.P. Range 40 - 70 for 1988<br />Rec. H.P. Range 40 - 80 for 1989, '91, '92<br />B.I.A. Rated Capacity / Lbs. 965<br />Approx. Weight / Lbs. 575 for 1988<br />Approx. Weight / Lbs. 625 for 1989, '91, '92<br /><br />Wow, these are nice fishing machines. If you have 90 hp.... Hang on !
