If the boat was ever documented you can check this site and use the boat name or the documentation number which can give you pervis owner names

Does it have a state registration? In your case a "MD xxxxx" number n ecah side?

Or, does it have a name n the transom with City, State?

HIN:
F32 MODEL 321, 322
F 32 SPORTS SEDAN MODEL 323

What is the name/city/state on the transom and HIN? We can help.

TRJ30180373321:
TRJ is Trojan
3018 is the 3018th F32 or built? (anyone know)
0373 is March 1973 ...
321 is an F32 Sedan (versus an open salon Express #320 or #322 Sportfisherman)
Soundings Magazine, 1999 wrote:"The F32s that you see today first appeared in the summer of 1972 with teak on the foredecks and cockpit - a short-lived design feature. The last F32 was built in 1992.

Of the three models offered, the F32 Sedan (model # 321) was overwhelmingly more popular in the F32 Express (model #320). Only about 20 percent were ordered with the long cockpit and diminished house area of the Express. And only two-or three dozen of the F32 Sports fishermen (model #322) were sold

Hulls built. Only about 3000 F-32's in the total run. March '73 would have been pretty early for anything over say 300, let alone 3000.

if they are original 1973 motors that have been raw water cooled since then it could be done but i dont know if its worth it now. where are you going to be boating?
