    I am definitely keeping the boat. I will probably look into selling the motor to make something off of it and then buy another 85 hp used motor.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Yes clearly lol.... but I can not find out what kind it is. Based off the pictures and what others have told me..... without any identifying information......I can deduce that it is a possible mercury 2 stroke outboard that dates back to 2005 at least or later..... but that's not enough...

    This is correct...At least in my case. Registering the boat was very easy. I just went to the DNR and had a temporary registration in hand within 20 minutes. Getting the trailer registered, is proving to be a real pain however,

    Well that's good to know! It is a black engine block. Definitely not gray

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    This is correct. I want to title the trailer anyways just to cover my keister, but the DMV won't help me with that until I produce a certificate of origin, which I do not have and neither does the previous owner. I can not even get a copy of one without the original, so it looks like I just need...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I do not need to get the trailer registered in Wisconsin because the weight limits exceed the combined weight of the trailer and boat. I would prefer to register the trailer for legality purposes if I ever want to take it out of state, however, according to the DMV, I need a certificate of...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I can do this at a later time.....but I hope it is easy. I can not find any identifying information on it.

    Agreed 100% Yes. I registered it at the DNR. The weight limits in Wisconsin do not require me to register the trailer, so I skipped that, but the boat is definitely in my name. I am just waiting on the actual title and registration sticker to place on the hull.

    OMC??? I don't have a model number. For the life of me, I can not find any identifying info on this motor.. I don't even know how to get it rebuilt by a shop without knowing what it is... how old it is....etc

    What paperwork do you speak of? I did register it in my name and am waiting on the title and sticker. Am I missing something else?

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1989 Maxum 1700XR. So here's the backstory. First off, I have been searching for a decent project boat for quite some time. I realize I will possibly put more money into it than what it is worth, but for me, if I can learn something new, then the new knowledge and...
