I've had my 87' bayliner cobra for 1 yr now, and have yet to find the data plate inside the boat. I've looked from stem to stern but cant find a trace of it. Please advise of possibilities. Thanx

Mine was stuck on the cover- of the owner's manual. Pretty useful, huh?:eek:

Re: Cant find data plate inside boat

I have been having the same problem with my 1990, 2002 Capri Cuddy, only thing I have found so far is a yellow and black decal (faded) just forward of the dashboard...is this enough to satisfy regulations requiring a capacity plate ???
And just why did Bayliner not install the usual stamped metal plate on their boats ????
I have received a photocopied owners manual from Bayliner but when I asked for the manual , I forgot to ask about the capacity plate...I need to make another call to them...

I tried to get one from Bayliner, but they told me my boat was too old for them to have the info on file.

That where mine is located also. On the port side. Luckily I can read it as plain as day, CG too.
