Where to find "Mark Twain Industries" boat information
 
I've recently bought an old "Mark Twain Industries" boat
model 162 T I/O. So far I haven't been able to find any
information about it online. I'd like to find out the year it
was manufactured if possible, and how to locate the
hull ID number, and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me
where to find out information about it online, or anywhere
else for that matter?

I don't think he was able to find the Hull ID number. I don't know
what the laws were back when the boat was manufacturered, but more
recently a manufacturer is supposed to put the one visible hull ID
number on the transom, and hide another one somewhere else on the boat
for recovery reasons. Many times I up the second number under a
gunnel, or a thwart...

Mark twain Industries was in Franfort Illinois but went out of
business in 1991. The HIN should be on the transom in the upper right
hand corner and somewhere else in a hidden location. Where, only the
manufacturer knows. You may be able to get some info from various
price guides . Try BUC http://www.bucvalu.com/ or NADA Used Boat
