Aluminum boat identification help

[grey]

I have this boat that looks like a flat-bottom jon boat but it has a V front.
On the nameplate is the numbers "14525V" . There is no brand name. That is what I want to know, the brand name.
The boat is 14 foot long and 52 inches wide, thus "14525V". That might be a coincidence.

Do these type model numbers look familiar to anyone?
Thanks.

More information:

It has three bench seats covered with aluminum sheet.
It is painted green. (Might have been sold that way.)
It is probably more that 20 years old.

Does it have a HIN stamped into the transom in the upper right corner or on a data plate?

It it has a Hull Identification Number, the first three characters are the Manufacturers Identification Code. Look up the manufacturer here http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_database.htm. The model sounds like an Alumacraft. But several builders use that kind of model designation.

Yes, facing the rear the data plate is on the right.
The Data plate is mostly legible, enough to see that there is no manufacture name. Also the HP rating might be 20 or 25 or 12 ( I think there is a "2" in it)
There is also a tiny serial number that I didnt try to read. I will get out my magnifier.

HIN? I dont know.

Thank you.

This boat might have been made before 1972. I would not be suprized. I know that it has sat in my neighbors back yard for 20 years.


I will try the search any way. Thanks.

Correction....
The data plate is on the left side. This boat was upside down making the data plate on the right side.

The model number is 1452SV not 14525V

The serial number is 22267

Thanks

Re: Aluminum boat identification help

Serial number only is an indicator of an early build pre-72.

Tracker Marine markets some of their boats with those numbers too. Take a look at the tracker marine web site......

It probably does not matter who built it does it? There are many aluminum boat companies that have a long history.... go ahead and pick one

Re: Aluminum boat identification help

I am looking at a Tracker bass boat to purchase and want to verify the exact model of the boat by using the HIN. I have tried to call Tracker marine cust service but all they do is put me on hold and then a message tells me to leave one. The HIN of this boat is BUJ01158F607...I do know that # means the boat was built in June, 2007 and the boat is being represented to me as a 2007, but the title says it is a model 175AW and I cant find that Tracker made that specific model in 2007 so Im skeptical and want to be sure. Does anyone know if and how you can tell the actual MODEL of the boat from the HIN? Or some website where i could tie this down?Thanks very much.
