I sold it way back 88' Was built orange w/a white bench & side steer. The thing was absolutely pristine! My buddy wanted a little ski-boat, walked into the New Brighton plant one weekend in 76', told Howard what he wanted, & had it in a couple weeks! Really felt like it hauled-ass (touching 60 :rolleyes: ) with a 75 stinger on it and a ****ty prop. I lost track of it in the early 90's & now its' gone forever-I guess. Got into all kinds of trouble with it - man what a great little boat!! I know you'll love yours too! ;)

Try these! #'s that I saved and had a couple of my Law Enforcement buddies trying to track it down a few yrs ago... HSP 981, HOA 775 , OT 14 773948. I think the last one was the motor # (?) :D

the last one was porbably the motor #...
the #'s off my transom are HSP349HAM76H
if you go by the decoder on hydrostream.org it says my boat is actually a 75.. but since it was made after the "rollover" date for hydrostream.. it was stamped as a 76. if you want ill post a pic of my boat how i got it.
