Re: hull id locations
Depends on the year. My 72 had no HIN on the transom, just the 4 digit serial no. on a decal below the helm, almost illegible, and the same 4 digits engraved into the starboard stringer about 1.5" tall, almost completely hidden by foam. I cut about 1" of foam away to fully expose the numbers.
My previous pre-73 SC hull also had the serial no. engraved in the starboard stringer, about 8" forward of the transom.
Even with that the state of FL assigned a full length HIN when I titled the boat (previous title was CT), but as my original serial no. was available, I did not have to engrave it into the transom.
