Help !!Name this boat, can not find any info

[cballz]

Hi all

i am possibly trading for this boat but i can not find anything on it let alone who makes it, the owner knows nothing about it as well and all his title says is prima jet drive. Google can't find anything either.

Thanks in advance

You want the number on that tag. It will tell you the manufacturer and year...

Can't say much about the boat, but the engine is a Force made by Mercury. Could have been branded Force, mariner, Sea Ray, etc. Merc put a lot of names on them.

And yes, unlike most other Force engines it DOES have an oil pump and oil injection.

Yup, engine is a Merc SportJet.. Hope you are not trading much; it looks pretty rough.

Following Saumon's advice will lead you to your answer.

Be careful........ the old sportjet's are maintenance HUNGRY and if you can't find info on google .....think about finding parts which will be harder or near impossible. Cute boat but I would walk away from it.

thanks guys.
so do i need the HIN to get the info which should also be on the title correct, and is there a website that i can input that info and get the make and model?or just call or into the local DOL.
as far as the deal for it, it would be my jetski plus cash on his end.

Too many mysteries with a propulsion system that was not that great. I wouldn't do it.

Here first: Hull ID Numbers - BoatSafe.com

Then here: Manufacturers Identification Code (MIC) Database

Well I finally got the HIN from the owner and this is what I got from the website provided by Sauman, thank you by the way. It looks like this company no longer exists in the US, and is in China now? extremely nice yachts though anyone got a couple extra mil$ lying around lol

The Chinese sent pet food and baby food that caused deaths-- now I'd pass as drowning may be next on the list.
