I have a 1978 45' SPort Fish that I've owned since 2002. I've done a complete rebuild on the 871 Ts (less than 1000 hours now), new electronics, recent topside awlgrip. It's been a great boat I'm debating whether to refinsih the interior or just sell. I need help figuring out the hull ID, especially if I'm going to sell. Since I've owned this, the hull number assigned is 451-9060F. This is on a brass plate that has always been with the boat. However, when I clicked on the models tab, the numbers dont match. Further it says this model was only made through 1977. At one point, it was documented #602352. How/where can I confirm the hull number? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Whitney. Mine is the standard galley salon level. We're located now on th Fl gulf coast so not many ch need for a lower station. I did a complete in place rebuild on the 871 Ts a few years back and averaged about hours annually. She's just under 1000 hrs now. No smoke and doesn't sling oil. Runs beautifully and cruises 18 - 20 knots sea dependent burning between 42 and 45 gallons per hour. Has three a/c units; 1 original, one about 1 1/2 yrs old and the third one somewhere in between. Blows real cold which is important down here but heat works great to. Had custom made instrument panel with new guages and all electronics about years ago. Awl gripped topside about three years back. Phasor generator put in 2015. All engines professionally maintained annually. Upgraded power inlet to single 240/50 Hubble split at interior panel. No split pigtail! Haven't used much for the last two years and I'm at the Y in the road: sell or refinish boat....Great cruise and fishing boat, especially in the Bahamas.
