Also on a different note, I found a company that will send to you capacity data plates for a nominal fee. The 72 16.7 footer i bought does not have one on it, and the coast guard , at least in my area , wants to see that placard . The company is majic brush, in floridia 386-736-1142

You may have to search through a few different years to find your motor. I found that site to be one of the best sites around for researching your motor and parts.
