Hello all. This is my first post and I am new to the boating community. I recently purchased a new home and along with the house, the owner left behind a Celebrity Calais Cuddy. It was his sons boat and he has very little info to pass along. The boat looks to be in good shape, but the motor looks a little rough. According to the owner, the mercury v6 ran but had drive issues. The last registration on the boat is from 2004. It looks to be about 20'-22' long and 1980?-1988? vintage. I say this because it has a classic beige, brown, and orange paint scheme. What I am asking is if anyone out there knows where on the boat is a manufacture tag with all pertinent info. I looked everywhere and cant find one let alone know if it ever came with one. On the right stern there is what I presume to be a hull ID number in the fiberglass. Is there any way to search the boat specs using this number? I would like to know the year, length, weight and any other info I would need to try and get her running. I would supply some pics but we're getting hammered right now with about 12" of snow and counting. It probably wont be for another couple of weeks before I can get to her. This is going to be quite a project but hopefully it wont drain me and without any paperwork, wont be impossible to register. Thanks for letting me in to your community, Ron.

Hi Ron,
Our 1989 boat has the model number (actually length) just above the rub rail, about 2/3 the way back on each cide.
There is also a plate right next the control lever stating the manufacturer, model, and other info. The capacity decal may also help you glean info.
I hope it's teh bargain it seems to be.
