Okay, I do NOT remember receiving this 'packet' from the seller when I bought my Four Winns. I must've been in a complete fog.
Cleaning out the garage this morning, I found a legal-sized vinyl storage bag with '278' hand-written on it, buried under a bunch of crap. When I opened it I found the owners' guides for all the accessories on the boat, Volvo-Penta and OMC owners' manuals, and wonder of wonders... the 'build sheets' for the boat, signed by every member of the work crew who assembled it, AND.... TA-DA... the factory record of all the model numbers and serial numbers of the outdrives, engines and transom plates!
Folks, I've had my head buried in the bilge a half dozen times since I bought the boat, and I've been unable to find or clearly see any of the tags and markings that give that info. I'm so freakin' excited... I can finally post on the V-P forum! Was afraid to before 'cuz I knew Don S was gonna tell me.... 'give us the serial number and maybe somebody can help ya. without that, yer jes spinnin' yer prop, son'
