So I picked up this boat for free today but I cant figure out what kind (model) it is. I dont have a title so I cant look there. maybe someone here can help? All I know is its an Olmpic, 1970s? has a Johnson 40 horse outboard. any help would be awesome

Until it is registered in your name it is parts and nothing more, do not and I repeat do not spend one dime on it until you have it registered in your name.

If it was made in the US in the 70's, it will have a HIN embossed in the upper right hand corner of the transom. Start there.

Well it has numbers on it, so you might be able to call the state it was registered in and track down some information that way, including what you are going to have to do to put it in your name, in some states it can be a real pain in the rear to get a lost title boat transferred to you. Your "Free" boat might end up costing you a small fortune.

Did you at least get a bill of sale from the Previous Owner?
