I recently picked up an old boat that was a former fish and wildlife forestry boat. I am trying to register the boat but do not have a hull id for it. To apply for a hull id I need to know the make and model. The only info I can get from the old tag is as follow:

40 HP max

1500 lbs cap.

model # CF-1651

This is a 16ft alum flat bottom with a drop in front deck.

If anyone can help identify the manf. I would be grateful.

Found this at Iboats

according to the model it's a Polar Kraft.

Good luck.

Maybe a polar Kraft?

saw that but wasn't for sure. I finally got in touch with DNR and they say they will send a ranger out to inspect and determine year and make.

appreciate the help.

NADA says it's Polar Craft not sure of year first year was 87 i think

CF-1651-AW
