Looking to trade for this little 14 ft'er. It has a late 80's Yamaha 50 Pro on it and an 80's galvanized Shore Land'r trailer. The guy says the title reads 69' MFG but that's not yielding any hit's. I'm also trying to figure out what it's worth.

Thanks for any help,

SS

That is not a '69 MFG. The title is for a different boat, using it is a fraud. Here's a link to MFG's models available in 1969: http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/MFG

Re: What is this??

I just re confirmed what the title says and he claims it reads 65' not 69' MFG. I did look at the glassic's list as well (member there) to confirm. This thing is clearly a 70's era boat from the lines. But if it's got a jacked title this may be why he wants to trade. I still want to find out what it is because I could possibly claim a lost title and have a new one made here in WA. I texted him for the Vin # on the boat not the title and will see if he can produce it. If not then it's a no deal.

No tags on the boat from the text I just got back. I'll contact the state about it Tuesday and what can be done. Still need a make, model and year though.

Re: What is this??

When were HIN's required? Is it too old to have one?

From the bow it looks a lil like a Hydrostream but I don't think they made a 14 footer. MFG could possibly stand for "manufactured" btw. As in homebuilt?

If the title matches the registration I'd leave well enough alone. No good can come from contacting the state ...

Believe all boats were required to have a HIN by 1973.

Re: What is this??

Likely not a home built but I did wonder the same thing about it standing for "manufactured by" right off the bat. I does look like a Hydrostream now that you mention it. And I think seeing the title is in his name and clear we may well just leave it alone.

Re: What is this??

I guess it is possible that it could be home built and if so it's pretty cool and maybe that explains the title. He's coming down Thursday to look at my jet boat which is fast and scarry, part of the reason for getting rid of it. I just want something small that the wife and I can just cruise around in and not wake the whole lake when we do it. The jet boat was fun for a couple of seasons but we need to tame things down a bit.
