Yes, it was built in March of 1973 as a 1973 year model.

What model do you have?
Custom?

I believe it's the sport. Has side console and 2 benches. I have to research the motor more but I believe it's the original 1973 merc. Going to try and bring back to life. Hopefully get some photos posted soon

Good.

The other boat in your personal page is a 1969 Sport 13'

Don't see the 1979 Newport you list in your profile. Any photos of that one?

Joe i actually just sold her. I do have some photos I'll add to the forum. I linked some via flickr on the for sale area. I personally had a lot more fun restoring the 13. I miss that 1969 all the time great boat.
