I just purchased a well used 1999 Crestliner Angler 14 for $800 from an estate sale. The boat has been in the water most of it's life as the guy who had it (and also me) have a slough in our back yards, I don't even have a way to get it out of the water.
It was pretty full of rain water, I pumped out what was on top of the wood/carpet deck. I need to get under the deck to get the water from there.
Unfortunately the bilge pump does not work, but the livewell pump works, not much use though except to prove the the electrical system works to some degree. In the pictures you can see the pumps, the one I believe is the bilge pump was floating on top of the water and broken off of the hose that goes somewhere.
What I was hoping to do is remove the wood deck towards the back so I can get underneath and fix things. There were a few screws holding it down but the deck won't budge after removing them.
I am wondering of the lockers along each side are built on top of the deck and holding it down. That is a question I would sure appreciate an answer from you guys. If that is the case it's going to be very difficult getting underneath the deck to fix the plumbing.
One last question, does anyone know where I could find the hull number on a 1999 Crestliner? Supposedly there's one stamped somewhere out of the way inside the hull. The hull numbers stuck to the bow are partially missing and very faded, impossible to read. We also have a pink slip missing problem that I have to resolve, pretty sure I'll need the hull ID for that.
Thanks in advance.
