Sea Nymph 16R40 (1976)

[Radical]

Hello Everyone, I just purchased an open-hull, V-bottom 1976 Sea Nymph 16R40. The manufacturer's plate is illegible in places, and I need some information to complete the registration process, particularly the total weight capacity.
I found the following site listed here, which was very helpful, to order a new plate decal, but I need the information to order it. (https://garzonstudio.com/old/boat/capacity-decal.html)

I'm glad found this forum when I was looking for information, and I hope to put some pictures up soon. Any information about the boat model would be greatly appreciated.

i found this...
Boat Capacity Calculation
If your boat doesn't have a Capacity Plate, you can calculate the number of people you can safely take onboard using the following equation and calculator.
Number of people = vessel length (ft.) x vessel width (ft.) ÷ 15
First, find out the length and width of your boat in feet, then use our calculator to find out your boat's capacity.

Boat Capacity, Rules & Weight Calculation | BOATERexam.com®

Powerboats less than 20 feet in length are required to have a capacity plate. Learn more about these numbers, what they mean and how they're calculated.

Thanks for your help. It looks like I still need the weight capacity. The manufacturer's plate is there, but there is no legible information on the amounts; 47 years of age have taken their toll on the tag. I don't think the numbers were stamped, but probably just printed on the plate when the boat was manufactured.

Here is my "new" 1976 Sea Nymph 16R40. Looking forward to getting her on the water.

Thanks. I can almost read the old catalog pages. I think I can get the paperwork done through the mail without all the technical information. I still like to read through the specs, though.

UPDATE: I went to the PFBC (PA Fish and Boat Commission) website, and I think I can get the paperwork done through the mail without all the specific information, like capacities. I think the notary may have been talking about the trailer when she said I needed all the technical stuff. It's still nice to know the information.
