Welcome aboard.

There should be a hull identification number stamped into or molded into the outside of the transom on the outside.

Do you have a title? It may be necessary to register it.

I'd go with the 90. That's a good price if it really has been rebuilt, especially if he'll warranty if even for a short time.

Re: boat with no ID

If he'll mount it also, thats a great price!

Re: boat with no ID

That plate across the transom tells me you should check it for rot before you spend big bucks on a motor, why else would there be a reinforcement of it if it didn't need it!

Re: boat with no ID

well the ppl before me had a 140 on the back of it i see just a lil rot on the left side of the trans. at the top i had a man look at it and told me to just glass of the whole top of the transto seal it up real good

Re: boat with no ID

I think you mean Privateer? If so, a good basic hull. very light b/c no insides. I'm guessing it's 17'. If so, a 70 will be plenty on it. If 19' look at the 90.
You can probably find the capacity by research privateers or looking around for some; they are popular in the south. Look at their plates to see what the max is and do not exceed it.
be sure the DNR man will really issue you a title.

also a suggestion: try breaking up your posts into sentences. Makes it easier for us to respond.

Re: boat with no ID

If you contact the manufacture of boat they will tell you where to look for your HIN. There is one hidden somewhere not visable to the naked eye.Ther are two on a boat. One on the transome and one hidden.This way if boat is stolen athourties know where to look.
