According to the info i have on this boat it is a 1979 Campion, i can not find a serial number on this boat i have talked to Campion they said it was not uncommon for them to have hidden the serial number underneath the trim and have dismantle part to get at it, The motor is an OMC Model 980703 Serial W67219

Thanks

What Bond-o means is you better have a thick wallet, parts can be expensive compared to a merc or volvo. Its an out dated drive....bottom line.
