thunderbird or fake HIN and title
I bought this boat becuase the V4 had good commpression and was pretty good deal considering the engine only needed minor repairs. I tested the engine on this boat rotten floor and all and really liked the way it rode was hitting 40 pretty easy. I now wanted to venture into the resoration side of boating and fix this one up. My problem/question is The HIN and title match and tell me it is a 1979 thunderbird 18'2". For the life of me i fannot find a formula that is an outboard. No pictures no information. Is this a fake title, and altered HIN? Is this a convertion to an outboard? If so what do i need to look for to know the job was done correctly so i can trust the evinrude wont be sitting on the bottom of the ocean with half the boat?
