I purchased and OLD but in good shape 17' center console (I think it is a 1986). It was originally miss-classified but i recently found a plaque behind a cushion that says it is a sportcraft "fisherman". It has a 75hp 1995 force engine on it, a 13 gal in-hull gas tank. All in all a nice boat but some interesting problems I hope than someone can help me with. 1. The plate with all the specs is so weathered I can't read it. 2. The deck is suppose to be self-bailing but the holes in the transom are below the water line and therefore I have to plug the holes. The boat seems very diffucult to get into plane (Engine fully trimmed and hyrdofoils on the engine). Seems quite back heavy (hence the selfbail problem) Once in plane it moves well. If someone can help I would be appreciative!!!!
