Eh gang!
So finally I am a S/N owner! I just made a deal on a bit of a project for my kids and I to tackle.
I live in BC, build hot rods for a living. Do lots of weldin and fabbin. I used to race BMX and moto-x, skateboarded, drag raced, crew chiefed on Sprint cars, stock cars etc. Life is good after a divorce, kids and I do everything together everyday
So I made a deal on this S/N, but there is no paperwork and I could not find the H.I.N. any where on the boat. There is no numbers on the trailer either. I can get it registered here in BC, but would like to know what I have.
Its off white with to tone brown stripes. I did get the number off of the velvet drive if that helps?
Can't wait to tackle this project and get it out on the water!

I am not the expert by any means, but I am guessing 80-83 based on the vent windows on the sides of the windshield.   I am thinking that there is a forward scoop on the bow, which would make it 81 or earlier.     Your HIN number is going to be right under the rub rail on the driver side rear, and that will tell you what year it is according to mfg.
The trailer does not look original, if it is a CC trailer, it looks to have been modified pretty heavily (it looks wider than standard, has funky steps and a prop guard)   

Welcome!:)

Thanks eh!
I have a few more pics too
I noticed the trailer has had some work done on it for sure. I looked and could not find numbers any where. Even called a fellow S/N buddy and he told me where to look while I was standing beside the boat.

Dreaming, I spend wuite a bit of time in your area, got good friends in Kent and Marysville

80-81 for sure. The HIN will be stamped where Quinner says, but it may or may not have the model year in it (that convention didnt start until '83). It will have the "hull certification year" stamped instead, whatever that means.

If it has "20th anniversary" stamped on the transom below the rub rail (port/left side) then its a '81. If it doesnt, then its like a '80. Some '80 boats have the electronic speedo instead of the 2nd Airguide... but really, there arent many details that changed between the 2 years.

And yes, that trailer definitely has some interesting modifications! There will not be a number stamped anywhere on a trailer of that vintage, unfortunately- at least not one that is likely to still be in tact. The VIN/serial number was printed on a sticker that is most likely long gone, or at best, faded beyond recognition. It would have been placed on the outside of the frame in the vicinity of where that bow stop monstrosity is, ha.

Here is my 1966 Mercury crewlcab, Factory built with speedy upgrades by me. Its my family cruiser, swapmeet bruiser! Most of it is original paint, it only has 45,000 original miles, was a Fire Crew Truck and spent its life sitting in the Fire Dept shop. I have another one I am puting on a Cummins 12valve 4x4 chassis


This is our '35 Ford Phaeton, yes it has a trailer hitch!


My '50 Ford shoebox, I built it, cruised it then sold it. It is now on one of the Hawaiian Islands


I did some work on this '55 GMC sChOOL bus. i looked after it for the last few years, it as just sold and is now in Ontario somewhere

Too bad you only get 19 days a year to drive those up there. Neat stuff. I like the S10 Blazer too.

Hollywood, its a HUGE land mass, little more specific please. I have been to L.A. and all it did was rain, does that mean it rains all over the US 100% of the time? hehe

Quinner, perfect! It feels like home already

Dash shows it's older than 82... might explain some of the space between the fender well and the gunnel on the trailer.   

Small world :)   I have family in both MV and Kent.   Pretty sure I have admired your Merc crew in the past also... Diesel crew cabs are pretty sweet.

Dreaming, it is a small world!

Jpass, thanks eh! Well the seats are missing so will be building all new stuff, luckily a few of my buds are great upholsterers. I am going to redo, replace the stringers, transom and floors. Not sure about the motor, getting mixed info. I do have another good Windsor so may replace it, but I have lots of killer small block chevys in my collection so uh...hmmm
And I will get rid of the ugly puppy poop brown too, kids say Lime or Purple   

This site / forum is awesome, been checking it out for a few years now, you guys know your sh*t!!

You do know that the Windsor in your boat is a reverse rotation??

Anyone else notice the Canada flag in place of the USA flag? Pretty neat never seen that before.

Congrats on the boat!

Looks like a modified ski Supreme or Master Craft trailer.

Nah, thats a CC trailer thats been modified. Most of the early inboard trailers (MC, Supreme, American Skier) leveraged the CC design pretty heavily.

Ive seen a Canada sticker in that place on one other boat. No idea if the factory did it or not.

If you are going to repaint the graphics there is artwork on the site for creating a mask for an 81, my 80 was Chevy powered. If you repower ideally you would want to use a reverse rotation motor, there are some guys who have gone standard rotation with big HP like PAPA in Indiana as one example.

Zach, did notice the canada flag, pretty cool

Tim, You're probably right but that trailer looks like the bunks pinch the nose off soo tight like off brand trailers.

I assumed the red was faded off the other Canada decal haha. Cool pic.

Zach, good point. It looks like the boat is pretty far forward on the trailer, which would make it appear narrower at the front. A picture from the side would confirm. Im guessing the tongue cant be lifted easily (or at all) by hand? It almost looks like the bunks might be 4x4's as well?

Timmy, if you look at the frame rails on the above trailer they look like they are boxed and maybe a half inch or inch shorter than the period CC trailer you pictured. I would also bet that if it is a CC trailer said modifier probably lined the bunks up to the read of the boat as to not make the transom overhang the trailer (he knows not what he does!)
