HELP GUYS! what model boat is this????

I have had this boat for a year now but i want to insure it but when they ask my the make/model i don't have a clue. it doesn't say anything on it to give me a clue. Insurance said they can put it as unknown but i wanted to see if any one would know. I think this boat has been renovated before and that why i have no clue what it is. allot of people said it would be from the USA. BOAT= 16ft
Motor info:
Evinrude 1983 model 70hp.


thanks guys for helping!

Au-WWA100971-G03

The major features
curved slickcraft-like one-panel windshield (not really like slickcraft. those were not curved like this boat.)
fiberglass deck riser with windshield very close to bow
fake lapstrake in fiberglass
don't match any USA boat I'm familiar with. I bet overseas.

If made for or in the USA after the fall of 1973, it should have a HIN associated with it. Typically this is embossed on the upper right hand corner of the transom as you stand behind the boat and look. She has registration numbers, which suggests she's legal. What does the title saw? The registration? The HIN's prefix will be the manufacture's code and can be easily looked up. Post the numbers you have.

Year- 03 ????
serial number - 100971

I was trying to be humorous

Have you tried tracing it thru your boat Registration Agency ? They should have a complete past history available.

You are in the same problem as me,the waterways code is
AU = Australia
WWA 100971 = Waterways ID No Not the boat ID
GO - Dealer who issued the plate
3 =1993 or 2003
This came into force in 1984 so your boat is the same as mine no HIN before that
I have an 70 or 80's tri hull Mercruiser 165 I am trying to ID,there are no on line searches you can do in OZ,the info I got was on the phone,they will not tell you who the dealer code is,and they list no manufacture
