:welcome:

Do you have any estimation of what year it might be? If it's after the mid-1970s, you should be able to locate a HIN on the stern under the rub rail.

Otherwise, check 1) the paperwork, and then 2) a capacity plate near the helm or engine compartment. If you're still not getting anything you can look HERE, and then HERE, and then HERE.

My guess is mid '70's too especially if it's a "trihedral" hull.....one large center hull....like today's deep V monohulls, with lifting strakes and a short sponson on either side of that maybe half as deep, or less as the center hull. Idea was to have a nice soft ride from the center hull in rough water but have the side buoyancy of a tri-hull when at rest. As I recall there were 2 basic hull lengths (17 and 19 footers) in the smaller hulls and you had to get at least a 19 footer to get that hull. Jerry Whittle or Phil Dill boats in Lewisville, TX. sold them.
