What year is the hull?
Prior to 1973, the HIN was most often on the manufacturer's capacity decal, and on many Moesly hulls, also written in grease pencil on the starboard inboard stringer (for 4-stringer hulls) about 1-2' forward of the transom.
On my first Seafari, a 1969, it was also written on the inside of the fuel tank well. (It said "Hull # XX2). I have no way to know when that was done, though. It WAS the correct number.
