I traded for this boat and can't seem to find much if any information on it. The registraion just says Marlin as the maker with no model listed. The HIN is KKSRX020H495 which I have decoded, but that leads nowhere as well. If anyone know how to research these pre-google years please let me know. It is a cuddy cabin style and the lengh is 23'2". Stern drive. Boat Type listed as OPEN BT. Hull is Fiber. That's about all I know. Any info is much appreciated as I'm trying to sell or trade it.

KKS = Kregger Kraft Skiff (Out of Business)
RX020 = Boat Serial Number
H4 = Manufactured August 1994
95 = Model year 1995
