I was given this boat w/o title. There is no data plate on the transom. I think the engine is a 1971 Chrysler 55 hp(557 hc). Any help would be greatly appreciated![I

A slim chance it is a DUO or Chrysler It seems Duo and Chrysler were involved
and Chrysler bought Duo and made it Chrysler boats.Just a stab in the dark.

Thanks for the replies. The throttle handle says Chrysler on it, and the start switch plate says McCulloch. I assume the original engine was McCulloch. I wonder if it is a Chrysler runabout utility. I saw these mentioned in the iboats boat search.

Check with fiberglassics.com for more info on Chrysler boats. That really is a cool looking boat. Worth a grand or two to get it all cleaned up and running again. Just can't buy that style new anymore...
