Needing help with Very neglected 1984 VIP 19ft Runabout

[CaryD]

I have recently purchased a 1984 VIP 19' Runabout and am in the process of bringing her back to life. She has a 140 HP inboard Mercruiser inline 4 cyl. Mercruiser sterndrive. My question is how can I find the NAME of the model? The title says model is MO 2176 BR. I assumed this meant "BowRider", but i have been wrong in the past. lol
I have striped her down to bare fiberglass inside. All carpet was rotten as were all seats,doghouse and side trim. I am rebuilding interior the way I want it. To include removing jumpseats beside doghouse and making a fishing deck over motor to cover entire stearn.

Would like to know Name of Model so I can order replacement chrome and other accessories.

Thanks in advance.

Post some pictures of your boat,perhaps someone will reconize your model. Also, I dont think you will be able to order parts as that company went out of business.
