Just picked her up on Sunday, not sure of the model number but boat and motor 50 hp Merc 500 Thunderbolt ignition are both 1976 models.

hopefully someone can give me some info on her model and I can do some more research. So far I think she is an S1500 Bow Rider

Thanks

Re: 1976 Steury

She did good today, still had to tweak the throttle cable, but got that done when I got home. I have confirmed she is an S-1500, found the coast guard plate, says she is rated for 90HP, I have a 50, but that seemed to do ok today. 900 lbs capacity, and the last number 1375 I believe is the flotation rating, but not sure.

label says:
90
900
1375

In any case, I am a happy camper, she is very stable, did ok over the wakes, was able to fly fish standing up in the back all morning, way better fishing platform than my crestliner (56 speedster). Gonna take her out a few more times, do some basich maintenance, fix the winch, etc and then I can start stripping down the speedster and refurbishing her.
