Re: [OMC-Boats] Ser. #

I found this advertisment on Craigslist today.
Thought it might be a good addition to Lee's "SWAG" chart.

We have a 16ft inboard outboard boat with a V6. Engine runs well. Out board needs work. Model #0477010 S/N#WI-39011 Boat is in Poor Cosmetic Condition. Will sell Engine out of boat for right price. Also have a 16ft TriHaul Trailor that takes a Two inch Ball.

My 1967 Evinrude Sportsman Model 224504E is Hull ID WI-23941. Just providing information for Lee's "SWAG" Chart. Don. From: lks@...: omc-boats@...: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 20:18:25 -0600Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] Ser. #

Hi Scott,
 
WI-20371 is just a little higher/newer than my 66 Sportsman at WI-19541 20371-19541 = 830 apart
On Monday I'll revise my chart to show approximate model year hull numbers.
 
Where is your 66 V6 located geographically?
