I need to make a rubbing of the serial number off a 2005 198R hurricane

See photo at:

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.

The numbers should be stamped into the plate. If so, it's possible to
get a rubbing by pressing very lightly with the pencil. Even the
smallest depression will show up with a careful enough technique.

I'd be reluctant to buy a boat with a missing HIN. Theoretically, the
plate isn't supposed to be removable without doing some serious damage
to the hull.....but I wouldn't be easily convinced that's the case by
looking at the plate in the photo. Almost looks like its held on with
pop rivets. (!)
