[55johnson]

Hi guys new to the forum, but anyways I have a 15 ft Mitchell craft center console and front deck and what not and is also a tri hull/skiff deal but isn't the big bulky pleasure tri hull with the windshields well anyways I have looked and looked all over forums and have no luck in finding the same boat only a few and were still different had side console look alot different but the same hull design, but not sure if this was built with a private company or something was custom any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I think - but may be wrong - that it's a Mitchell boat, not Mitchell Craft. I saw a couple of them when I was in Florida a couple weeks ago, and I think THIS is the manufacturer. There's also some stuff HERE.

You should have a HIN stamped in the transom. The first few letters of that number should tell you who built it.

Welcome aboard.

No Title

Thanks for the info i believe i have been to this sight but i dident know if it was a mitchell boat so never had thought to look on there but i will do some research on there boats and specs and see if i can find mine. My HIN numbers though, not sure were to look them up to identify them.

The code "NBP" is for Nimble Boats out of Clearwater, FL. Best I can tell they're outta' business. The HIN suggests you have a 1980 hull.

Just looked at my title it says mbp I just couldn't see if it was n or m ,but i looked at nimble boats and they make sailboats and what not and started in 84' mine is 80-81 hull and isn't a sailboat lol so what does mbp stand for? Thanks

MBP is Metal Boat Pacifica out of Vancouver, WA - they're out of business too. Don't confuse Nimble Boatworks with Nimble Boats. Nimble Boatworks is still around, but not the same bunch. Nimble - and I don't know what they marketed their boats as - is gone, but was around in the early 80's.

Basically - your builder is out of business, and it's probable that there's very little information out there about your boat.

Anything, besides the unique build, that you're trying to figure out?
