Can you tell me the market value of my older boat?

Many factors come into play when attempting to resell a boat, factors such as the condition of the boat, how it has been maintained, its location of use and popularity all play a roll in determining the perceived value of your boat. Armed with this knowledge it would seem that traditional methods still continue to be the most accurate way of determining the value of your boat. An excellent indicator of the value of your boat is the classified ads in your local newspaper or one of the many trade magazines. You might also consider searching for online magazines that have classified ads or swap sections where you may post an ad. If your boat was built after 1965, you can find information pertaining to its value at N.A.D.A. Guides.com.

What is the Hull ID number and where can I find it?

Each Smoker Craft boat has a serial and a hull ID number. The serial number is located on the upper right side of the transom. Smoker Craft serial numbers begin with the letters ""SMK"", the last two numerals being the year of manufacture. The hull ID number is located on the upper left side of the transom. This number identifies the production run and is needed to clearly identify the boat. In the case of pontoon boats you will find the serial number located on the accessory bracket at the back of the starboard tube.

Can I get a new capacity tag or Serial number?

In the event that the capacity tag or serial number is missing from your boat, you will be required to take the boat to the Smoker Craft dealer of your choice for boat identification. Upon verifying the ID of your boat a request for reissue will be submitted to Smoker Craft and the new tag may be issued.

How do I determine the best Horse Power for my boat?

The best horse power for your boat is the one that best serves the type of activity that you enjoy in your boat that does not exceed the maximum horse power rating for your model.

  • If your pleasure is simply sitting quietly by yourself, pan fishing on the small inland lakes, you may wish to supply only enough horse power to get the boat on plane.
  • If you frequently carry several passengers and a full load of gear, you will find it necessary to increase the horse power to compensate for the added load.
  • If you will be out on larger lakes or the Great Lakes where the wind and weather become more of a factor, you will find it to your benefit to have a reserve of horse power at your disposal.
  • If your primary desire is to tow skiers or wake boarders or you simply have a need for speed, by all means add that horse power.

Never exceed the maximum Horse Power Rating listed for your model of boat.

What do XLS, LS and SS mean?

XLS, LS and SS simply mean Extra Long Shaft, Long Shaft and Short Shaft, respectively.
