new to me MFG need help on the year

[bakericsurf]

hey all,
took delivery of my mfg the other day, for the very desirable price of free, with alum trailer! so its glass, 13 feet 6 inches and has the plastic mfg decal, plastic rounded windshield. no seats, motor, nothing. no coast guard plate, no HIN on transom. nothing. just a very small scrap of alum sheet metal rivet to the transom with "CAREFREE 29" stamped into it. it looks as if it were done with individual letters and numbers, as they are very uneven. any thoughts? ive got an 87 johnson 40 to put on it, should go pretty good.

Take a look here: http://forums.fiberglassics.com/mfg/

Scroll down to the '67 - 68 "Carefree" models. The windshield and bow deck look similar. You can better compare your own boats' individual features.

ive made the executive decision, its a 67. the 68 came with the alum plate denoting hp, number of people, gear weight and what not. mine has no such plate, so well call it a 67.
