ok i have a boat that i have had since my grandad gave it to me it was made in 71 . i know it is old but it runs great and it means to much to me i was wanting to know if this tag rings any bells with any of the old timers.
i was looking for info on the boat it self .
i will post a pic of the whole boat tomorrow
The coast guard did not require MIC codes until 1972 so i have no clue post a pic..
dont laugh at my old boat . it is a work in progress...
There's nothing wrong with that boat. We all have to start somewhere.

I like it! I have a friend that has a cabin close to Hugo and he fishs from a boat like that. See one of the old Kingfishers or Ouchitas for sale here ever so often and they don't last long. I think you have a great little fishing boat.

Nothing to laugh about, there is still a many of them on the water...well built good little boats......Your are fishing and own a boat, there are alot of people that would love to have a boat instead of walking the banks and kicking tires!!!!!!!!!
well tomorrow it will have a new moterguide mounted to the bow . i will have it in a lake by monday
Looks a little like my first, a '74 Tomboy 15 footer with stick steering and a 35hp Johnson kicker.
Those old tri-hulls were pretty bullet-proof. Good luck and have fun restoring.
I would be more than glad to fixer back up and put her back into the water.
Nothing at all wrong withthat boat. Fished out of one very similar in Chas. SC. As stated, it's bullet proof, and very comfortable to fish out of. Have fun and enjoy!
well i finelly got it in the water to day , yeah it worked nice all but the throttle have to work on that .
also i was wondering was this have any of you ever had a push button shift ?
i dont know what the problem is it goes intro gear fine but it seem to have to have idle to high for it to stay running when put into gear .
Glad to hear ya got in the water
Can't help ya with the throttle though

WOW!!! I had what I think is the same boat as my first boat back in 85. Mine was 14 feet long, and rated for a 35 or 40 horse I think. I had an Evinrude 50 on it with push button, but it was so long ago, I can't remember a thing about it. Also had a beer tap on the top of the stick steer.
Mine was white and like the others say tough as a nickle steak! I sold her when I went in the Army in 86. I still think about that boat from time to time.
Good luck restoring it. It will make a great fishing boat and fixed up, will look super.
