New to iboats and boating

[freeone]

Hello all. I recently aquired a 1983 Larson Nantucket Express 22' with a Mercruiser 350. The boat has been stored for over 1 year by previous owner and slipped at Newport byfirt owner. Since I am new to boating I have very many questions and neither of the owners kept any of the manuals. I was able to get the following srial numbers off the cover of the engine. Engine #OC670697 Drive#OC813017. there is also a partial for the transom last 5 #s 88327. I have tried to search this info and got close but no definite hits. I think the engine has been changed from its original 83 model to a 1990s and drive is an Alpha one. Any suggestions. Thnks a bunch

Go to Manual #6 - go to page 7 - this should be age of
your boat. Check out other manual downloads.

That engine, drive, and transom shield Serial numbers all went to a larson, only it was a 1989 boat.
What is the Hull ID number on the back of your boat

Re: New to iboats and boating

Thank you all for the big welcome. This site and all the members are a great asset to a new boater like me. I'll check out those manuals thanx. The hull ID is LARF2560M83H, I figured there was a swap on he engine, drive etc. because larson didn't offer a merc. 350 in 83.
