how to age a 570

Post by hollygolly »

hi, has anyone the knowledge to tell me how to age my 570?
I note a plate near the wheel house with a number 290 stamped into it, how will this indicate its age?
Thanks

If you go down into the BOAT SPEC SECTION, you will find the details. Our 570 is 3002 and about 1986

Your 570 was made circa 1971 - 1972

Thanks, Sue! Much appreciated!
offtopic: I am new on this forum (and my native language is not English) , so where can I post a question on the 570 regarding the flotation chambers (need to know where all different chambers are located), due to the fact that there is water in at least one of the chambers. I already pumped out some via a hatch on the rear of the boat, but there is still water inside the cabin where the toilet once stood.

ps; just donated the 5,-. Great site with a lot of info!

Start a new topic in the general forum. be as specific as possible, if you have images post those too

No question is ever stupid or a waste of time, we have all been there as newbies.

Oh and your English is perfect - better than my Dutch!
