enlarge if you need to.

See the plate to the right of the outboard? Bingo. :-)


Wonder how he's gonna do a rubbing off of that? It doesn't look like
it's got any 3D relief to it.

I also wonder if maybe the plate has gone missing. Not sure how anyone
could have missed anything that obvious.


When the OP first asked, I did a quick Google for his boat and found a
couple of stern view pictures of two that were for sale. Neither had an
obvious plate like the one Chuck found. Either that or you just couldn't
see them.
I thought the hull number had to be put on in a way that it would be
obvious if it was tampered with ...

That has been the experience with each boat I have owned........it was
always imprinted in the gelcoat and always on the starboard side on the
transom.

That method is not tamperproof as on can easily grind out the numbers,
re-gelcoat and imprint a new number in the new gelcoat. ;-)
