Help ID Boat (pic)

[jajeeper]

I bought this recently. I know it is a 1975 16ft. Astroglass bass boat, but does anyone know if there is a model name? Also, the identification tag is gone so does anyone know what the specs are, such as max. weight and horsepower or is there a generic formula to calculate these? <br /><br />I'm hoping maybe someone out there has her sister.<br /><br />I have used it almost every weekend since I got it, but plan on making it my winter project and extending and rebuilding the fishing decks and compartments.<br /><br /><br />

Thanks...I don't know why I didn't think of going to NADA. The Merc is an 85HP.

jajeeper, The decals on the Merc look like it is a 1977 model. You may want to verify using the serial number of the motor.
