Hi from a forum newbie. I'm after some assistance and advice to help me with some direction on a new "project" boat.
I have an 18' Stejcraft half cabin of unknown vintage that I recently purchased for a pretty good price. It is in need of a new trailer and outboard.
Firstly... how can I tell the year of the boat from the Hull Serial Number? I've googled a bit today and have found various websites that explain how to decode (for want of a better word), but none have helped with the serial number that I have. Is anyone familiar with the Stejcraft serial numbers and how to determine the year of the boat?
Hull Serial # AUACJ000422QTX
The previous owner wasn't sure of the year, but thinks it was early 80s.
The boat comes with an Evinrude 115hp engine, model # E115TLCSA - I think this is a 1980 model?
Anyone have a Stejcraft on here that has done restoration work on it and can offer some tips on things to look out for?
Here is a pic of the boat if that helps to identify.
