don't have a clue, but it looks real good, how much do they want for it?

Re: Experts needed... Boat ID

Also clueless. But the HID does say it is a '73'.<br /><br />The color kind of gives it away too.

Title say's it's a 73.<br />No other indentification on the boat other than the hull id number. Owner is asking 1500.00.<br />But the engine has not run in a few years. I will need to go through it, service it.

Re: Experts needed... Boat ID

Yea, I also found the info on the Dolphin Boats LTD. Company out Chicago, went into business on 1/3/1973, out of business on 8/29/2001 but I was hoping for more. According to the USCG standards the hull id number is incomplete, it only has 11 characters instead of 12 but I have triple checked it to make sure. Well I will keep checking around for more info, thanks for the help!<br /><br />I bought the boat yesterday for a grand and got it home last night will work on getting it running this week, I will keep you posted. Thanks. Daryl.
