Need help identifying this boat

[marksblaster]

Hey, I just got this boat in a trade and cant find any info on the internet about it. My paperwork says it's a 1991 Wauquiez USA Hull ID# WAUM1016E191 . we are looking for a smaller cheap boat to use to go back and forth from shore to our new to us houseboat. This boat has no motor and i'm not sure what size to look for . I haven't found any tag giving info on motor size or weight limit. It is 12.5 ft long. Thanks guys Mark

Re: Need help identifying this boat

Hello Mark..

Is this a Jetboat ?

Is this a Novarania mod ?

I can tell you right now..this is a Death trap lol...LIttle speeder...

Its been out of com because of instability and safty.. ( sweet seats and buckets and all ) It was made for a small PWC that .. under restrictions would make you crazy

Motor size.. should be that equal to your forarms and ore-locks ... or possibly a 5hp dink that fishes with Style ..

YD.

YD,
It's not a jetboat but I bet with the right motor it would be crazy fun! I still haven't found anymore info or pics of one of these. I may just have to find something else to fix up. Guess I have all winter to find something. It would be cool to find a 20 hp or so for this boat just to get it back on the water since there must not be many out there? Thanks Mark

Re: Need help identifying this boat

Okay,! I found another! Anyone know what year this boat is? It's Steury. Has a 1966 Evinrude 33hp motor, on a 1974 trailor. It was cheap, ($250) .I haven't gotten to put it in the water yet but I have fired the motor for a breif second to see if it would. I had one fella tell me he thought it was a 1959 model? Beats me? Now I have to decide if I want to use this boat or switch the motor and controls onto the white one that I still dont know what it is! Ha! It could be a long winter. Any info would be great. Thanks Mark
