Hi All:

Just purchased this fishing boat for my cabin in Northern MI. All I can find is from the current owner who says it is a 1976 "Packerland". Does anyone know or can direct me too where I can find out about "Packerland" ?

Thanks in Advance!

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,....

It's new enough, there should be a Hin # cast into the hull,...
it'll be somewhere on the starboard side of the transom, usually near the upper outside corner...
The 1st few letters usually identify the manufacturer...

Every town in Wisconsin has a business or a street with Packerland in the name. I'm guessing it's not the actual brand, but rather, the place that it came from. Kind of like when Sears brands a tractor with a Craftsman label.

That or it's a very local brand, because I've got nuthin'.
