I have been given a boat that I need help identifing. The data plate says:<br /><br />Thunderbird<br />Model 31-190c<br /><br />I believe that it is a "c" but it is hard to tell.<br /><br />Any help would be great.<br /><br />Thanks
Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Any idea how old it is?<br />Or how long it is?<br />Is there a Coast Guard rating plate?<br />If made after 1973, it should have a hull id number on the transom, usually on the top outside, but could be inside.<br /><br />Can you post a picture?
Thanks for the help. I was looking at the data plate today and noticed that the model number is 3I -190c. <br /><br />I believe that the length of this boat is 19'<br /><br />I checked out the vintage brochures on the formula site and I think that it is a 1973 190c. If I was a betting man I would say that the model number helps identify the boat the "3" is the year and the "I" means I/O, the "190" is the length and the "c" is cabin.<br /><br />I will try and post a pic or two as soon as I can borrow a digital camera.
