That looks like mine too, but a boat survey report from 1991 calls it a Universal 16hp. Also lists the HIN as ERY30690M844

I have another question while I have your attention, all the spec sheets I have seen on the 30+ show the traveler in the cockpit on the seat in front of the comapnion way, but mine is on top forward of the compnion way hatch. Do I not have the model I think I have?

it appears more testing is in order.....

Thanks for the feedback. With original 2 blade prop there were instances where my parents could not motor against the current and had to call for a tow to get back into the harbor. 3 blade prop helps, but as a newbie, still worry about being under powered if we get into a bad situation.

Hi all, first timer, and new sailor. I have an 84, 30+ at Dana Point in CA. Was in-laws now ours. Looking to upgrade the original 16hp diesel. Any suggestions for size and what something like that should cost? Using ballpark of 1hp/foot thinking gently used 30hp. thoughts?...
