?? Crestliner with 25hp Johnson

[ccarver80]

This is my first project, figured it would be simple enough being as it is 98% Aluminum,

Anyone got any insight on years on either boat or motor??

TIA

Sure, boat: HIN Search results:

Success! CRL74171M78C is of the standard HIN type called Model-Year HIN. If you are buying this boat/craft then you should get the boat history and Boat Insurance from the BoatU.S. Program.​

Our HULL ID Decoder breaks down the Hull identification number into the following information:​

The HIN or CIN you have entered meets the Model-Year HIN format. It might also be a type that contains the country code and thus the boat comes from USA or Other . The serial number of the HIN is 74171 and is set by the boat builder. This boat or vessel has a Certification Date of (78) and a Model Year of 78 with month of build (October) based on the formatting of your hull_identification_number (HIN) .​

The manufacturer identification code (MIC) of your craft identification number (CIN or HIN) is CRL. This MIC (CRL) stands for the company name Crestliner Inc. which is currently Out of Business. This boat manufacturer has other company names (CRL sometimes goes by these name(s) Crestliner Division, Lowe, Lund, or Amf Crestliner.​

Thanks! Any idea on max horsepower rating? The plaque got ripped off. Also is this boat capable of having a floor installed? Or just leave it like it is?

No Title

Got the 4 bench seats ripped out and upholstery ripped off, going to buy a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4'' treated plywood and trace out the seats and my main plan is to stain the bench seats a dark stain and lacquer it shiny, Then I'm going to lay down a light outdoor carpet on the floor on the inside.
