Re: manufacturer

This is whats listed with the Coast Guard. Date of manufacture is Oct 4 1985.<br /><br />As far as HP goes there should be a specification plate mounted on or near the transom, or the helm area. It will give max hp, number/weight of persons/gear the boat was designed to carry.<br /><br />Details for Manufacturer Identification Code FXR<br /><br />MIC:<br /> FXR Status:<br /> Out of Business <br />Company:<br /> FIBERTECH Company Official:<br /> RADO, ED <br />Parent Company:<br /> Parent MIC:<br /> <br />Address:<br /> PO BOX 69 City:<br /> GRANDVIEW <br />State:<br /> WA Zip:<br /> 98930 <br />Country:<br /> Phone:<br /> 5098822891 <br />Fax:<br /> In Business:<br /> 12/4/1979 12:00:00 AM <br />Out of Business:<br /> 1/21/1987 12:00:00 AM Date Modified:<br /> 2/17/1987 12:00:00 AM <br />Type:<br /> Outboards, Open Motorboats, Jon Boats Additional Address:<br /> <br />Comments:<br /> OOB 012187

Re: manufacturer

Anybody know where to get a "coast guard tag" for your boat? If a boat were restored and the plate was removed..
