Title: Newbie
Post by: Joev143 on May 18, 2016, 06:28:30 PM
Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member. I recently purchased a v143 boat 650 merc with roller trailer project. I am not sure of the year, the color appears to be a burnt orange, the model is 143 MR, the third digit of the HIN is a five. It appears to have 65/66 emblems on the side. and it has a center console. I can make and attach a video if anyone is interested.

Welcome! 3rd digit of a 6 digit serial number is the year. If it's a 5 then it's a 1965 model year.

Thanks for the response, I was questioning it because I was told the 65 Jetflites were only available in Blue, from what I can tell it looks like the 65 was my color (whatever that is) and the 66 was blue. Is that right?? Also, I am looking for the stern light lense if anyone has one or knows where I can get one.

Joe

They were available in either blue or red metal flake that year.
