Eric I can't tell ya for sure what year model, but I can tell ya she looks ZACKLY like the '74 I had (pictured below)...ZACKLY!...inside and out...but your right, it should have numbers on the transom if that late a model...can you be sure transom has not already been done before?...I assume no title

Are there old registration numbers on it anywhere?

Yes, they are South Carolina and I have no way to reference them. If the seller I got it from got it on an auction it should be legit- what he gave me will allow me to get it registered in Georgia.

DANG!!...I just threw out the numbers you need to get that info...GOOGLE up SCDNR, get the boat registration phone number...call them and see if they can give you the info...ask them to at least give you SC county of most recent registration...they may also have the phone number for the county tax office...THEY'LL tell ya EVERYTHING!!

If you run the registration #, it will tell you what year the boat is and the HID#.

I thought it looked like an NC # in the pic, but the rail is in the way.

Call SCDNR, they will help you out like REEL said.

I looked at it wrong- it IS a North Carolina number. Going on vacation with the family this week so I won't have time to mess with it. But I will get back to it!

It has to be b/t '72 - '76. I might be off by a year but it is there about. Looks just like my '73 did.

Going on vacation for a few days, next weekend I will try and clean it up and get more pics so I can put it in the classifieds- too much boat for my wife's Grand Prix to tow!

The gel coat on this boat looks 100% original- looks like the remains of some dealer decal on the upper right corner of the transom.

The seller also has a car lot, I got a bill of sale left blank as far as the buyer's name and boat info that has been notarized- one for the trailer and one for the boat- somone wants it soon they can just fill that out as if they bought it directly. If not I will get it all in my name. Georgia does not title trailers under such and such gross wieght (10,000 maybe?) and does not title boats.

It did say "1973 DONATION" with a number that I suspect was the auction or item number on the stbd windshield- I think it's a '71 or '72 based on the lack of a hull ID and the Wellcraft number stamped on the metal tag by the helm.
