Cant be an 80 because mine has the boxes. Not syre war years they had those. Someone may have cut them out though. Mine dont have any foam in then though. You can run wiring and stuff through them.

I suppose you can't get a good enough look at the VIN# behind the jackplate. If you know the VIN# you can find out what year and model it is down to the month it was build. I think I found a breakdown of vin on the http://www.hydrostream.org website that will explain how to figure out what model and year. Bill

Re: Can you help me with model and year?
Thanks to everyone who responded. I did purchase the boat. It is a 1978 Viking with a 150 Mercury Black Max on it. Looks like a new stainless prop the one with the holes near the back of the blades. I've been away from the performance area for a while but I do remember these were suppose to help cavitation or something. I didn't see what pitch, I know some you have to pull to see it stamped on the inside. If it ever quits raining down here will do that. I did do as HST4ME suggested and rapped on the transom with the plastic handle screwdriver. It was a good solid sound., as was the floor and rest of the boat. The guy i bought it from thinks the guy he bought it from may have had some restore work done on it. He did tell him he did some mods to the motor and it is putting out more that 150 HP but he said he don't know if that is true or not. Didn't get to run it like i wanted but when the rain stops and it warms a bit will take it out for a good run to see what it will do.
