ID'ing my boat

[Parrothead71]

Help identifying year and model.
I bought as a 74 Crestliner but I've been having a heck of a time coming up with a definite ID, The plate is missing.
I don't think the windshield is correct but the rest seems to be.
I have more pics but having trouble uploading them as it says they are to big

If its a 1974, it should have a HIN stamped into the glass on the top right corner of the starboard transom. Or is that the plate you're referring to being missing.

The HIN will provide the year and make, but not a model.

This shows how to attach photos to your posts. Option 3 works best and is the easiest - http://forums.iboats.com/forum/forum-rules-and-guidelines/9938375-photo-upload-tutorial

I do have a number but it's not the HIN.

M35204 is stamped into the transom

No Title

Top right from the outside?

If so, its pre-1972

Yes

Yes

Then its a ser# and pre-1972.

Title may be inaccurate, if you have one or registration, but IMO, its a lot of work to change the title to accurately ID the year. Although it might be nice for it to be accurate, depends on your states rules~regulations

So I did some searching for images of older Crestliners, looks like it could be a 1969. Still sure of model.

Really doesn't matter in Minnesota with the age of the boat, newer boats it does matter.
I really just wanted to know for myself for when I need to look for parts.

I have a 77 Crestliner....good luck looking for parts by year, make, and model of that crestliner. Just about the only thing i could get that was specific to the boat were the side decals.. Good luck with the boat. You might want to look up the Crestliner owners page. They are mainly older boats but someone there might be able to help.
