Looks like it's ACB-33027-M-73-F-YF-16X, trying to find specs on this boat I just got. ID tag is gone. Would like to know for sure how heavy the boat is, and how heavy of an out board I can use.

What kind of boat, what year. the numbers posted above are meaningless without context.

It's an alumcraft 16ft. I think it's a 1973. I think! It's 60" width. 21" tall transum. It has 4 aluminum benches

Lookup Alumacrafts website and call them.

THEY will tell you what it is if you give them the numbers/letters stamped on the leading edge of the transom knee brace.

They will, I know several (me included) that got a fairly quick, detailed reply, in some cases, in just a couple hours.

It's a 1973 Yukon. It's good up to a 50hp. I wanted to know this because I would like to add a 150lbs beavertail mud motor for duck hunting. But they do put out a lot of torque so I'm worried about the transum flexing and breaking or pulling apart. Does anybody have any thoughts. The drive shaft is 71" long.
