Greetings All! I have some questions regarding my 1950's Grumman Sport Boat I inherited from my Dad. I'm looking for the payload capacity, best outboard HP to run on it, and any other info yall have to offer. My Dad and Grandfather hunted out of in SW Louisiana, and I'm really looking forward to hunting out of it myself. Can you tell me anything about it by the serial number? It's 702-15S Thanks for your time.

My sport boat is numbered 546-M-15S believed to be 1952 from family and friends that remember the purchase. it is rated for 5.5 hp does not give a weight capacity rating on plates, but believed to be 1100 lbs. From what I have been lead to believe that it was the 546th boat built in Marathon, model 15S that would make it 1952 (Marathon opened) or 1953. need to find old retired workers from Grumman or Marathon
