New to the board with a new boat Help ID please

Captain Kyle · Mar 12, 2015

This is my new boat and I have some idea of of who made it but no numbers, year or any other info.
If any other info is needed let me know. It is 14' 3 1/2" long and 58 1/2" wide. I want to register it as accurately as possible. Thanks for the help

I hope you find this site as interesting, friendly and helpful as I do.

Nice ride! I wish I could help you with the ID, but I don't have a clue. Perhaps someone else will.

Welcome again to the site! If I can ever be of any help, please let me know.

Can You read the old registration numbers on the bow?
What paper work came with the boat?
Maybe the registration number would be on that.
If You get that number have Your states Department of natural resources run them.
Nice looking boat.

kinda reminds me of a old StarCraft

No Registration numbers.
No Paper work (just bill of sale).
No ID tag on the transom.

I think from the research I've done that I have a Rich Line boat. Maybe a Challenger or Model 15 (both fit my measurements the closest and my sides could flex out a bit more). The noise piece on mine is small more like the model 15. Year would be anybody's guess.

If I'm wrong or off course please tell me, I'm going to register it in the next day or two. What years were these boats produced?

Yes it does. I looked, briefly, and the old StarCraft have the ribbed sides. Somewhere on back of the transom on that boat, there has to be a SN stamped in the hull, unless of course, it has been sanded down, filled in and painted over.

Captain Kyle,
Did you get her registered?
