14'sea nymph

[shawn.54]

Was in the process of buying a 14' sea nymph problem is past owners decided that the plate that holds info was a great place to clamp trolling motor I can read most info but some of it is gone. Max hp 25
Max weight people 650 max people and gear 850 have hin need model and max number of people. So if you have any information I would really appreciate it thanks in advance. Shawn

Roughly the USCG uses 150lb 'people' to determine capacity.

So

650 ? 150 = 4 person capacity.

But be aware, its a limit of both people and weight. So the boat would be overloaded in either case:

8ppl @ 75lb each (under weight but too many people)

3ppl @ 250lbs each (over weight even though fewer people then rated capacity

My question now is the HIN ends with 77 which makes it a 1977
Then -4R would that make it model 14r big water

Hi Shawn,
You might try agoogle search on this. I know I havbein the past and found out the info I needed on manufacturer specs and so forth. It might take a little time but it is worth it. Just my 2 cents any way.

Plug your HIN in here: [h=3]Hull ID Numbers - BoatSafe.com[/h]
It'll decode the HIN for you, unless you post the HIN, hard to say Yes that it's a 77. Might be.

I just got into it.....

wonder why I couldn't?

I posted it on my laptop, worked on my cell

Perhaps traffic here or there glitched the link

Sounds like you got the weight and capacity info you need. Now, from a practical standpoint...

A nice little boat that takes big water really well, but 25 HP is too much for the boat - don't go over 18.
Look carefully at the ribs - they are subject to failure at the ends around midship. New ribs can be sistered to solve the problem.

No cracked ribs already checked those out. Boat is a good deal my uncle has owned it for 20 plus years got boat trailer and 83 7.5 Mercury for 500. I'm a machinist for a areo space co. So a few broken ribs would be a easy fix.

I ran HIN it's definitely a 14R 4 person thanks for the help. Will get this transferred and my boys will be captains of their own boat. And I can have mine back.
