Where to find manufactures specs

[mattij2005]

Hi all just wondering where if at all you can source the original manufactures specs of older boat, i have an old pongrass V-156 which i'm kinda fond of now having had it for a little while, but i'm looking at doing some work to it over winter and wanted o know what actuall went were when they cam out, transom specs, cabin configuration and all that sort of stuff, i use this little thing out in the bay all the time and want to make sure it is 100% before next snapper season.

might need to do some serious googling maybe, Pongrass has changed hands a few times (and names) and I don't remember any brochures being available at any time, so you might be pushing poo up an incline!

yeah i thought as much noelm, i dont suppose there is a way to figure out what the transom is rated to anyway?

They were rated at 50 to 130 Hp. New in 72 they cost $1320.

thanks tony much appreciated, where did you find that or are you just going from memory.

I've got a book of all the production boats that were available in Australia in 1972. It covers power boats, sail boats ,outboards and stern drives.
