Picking up a 1989 Lowe 1610V

It's been a while since I posted. Last project boat never really got off the ground.
anyway, I am picking up a 1989 Lowe 1610V with a 40hp Evenrude on it. I have searched for spec on this boat and spent 1/2 hour on hold with Lowe to no avail....

Anyone have intel on this boat?

Thanks!!

Wow, that appears as INSANELY CLEAN for a 1989 model :mrgreen: !

Well I found 3 references and thus IF you have a current USCG dataplate, you shold be able to confirm some of these numbers. Looks like I would not trust the NADA specs:

Yeah it is in great shape. No leaks either. He kept it in a garage and just doesn't use it anymore.. It belongs to my co-worker's father.
Thanks for that info.
I'm trying to find a spec sheet and Lowe has told me to contact a local dealer... :roll:

I'll get it in a couple weeks.
