Default Re: hull ID question

If your hull is a 1971 or older, there is a very good chance that it does not have a HIN at all. My '71 did not, and was later issued a number by the state of FL in the form of a sticker. The number off that sticker was then (during the redo) stamped into the glass so that it looks as though it was there all along. Prior to 1972, I don't think HIN numbers were required and I'm told that '71 was a transition year in which some had it and some did not.
