Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum earlier.<br /><br />I have a 16.5 ft MFG 1972. My identification plate is totally worn out and I would like to edentify exactly the boat I own. I have heard of Lapstrake, tri hull, bowrider etc. <br />What are the characteristics of each for identification purposes? <br />Thanks in advance,<br /><br />Liam<br /><br />ps the hull looks like clapboard siding - maybe this is whats meant by lapstrake??
