exactly where on the stern?
where is the serial # on pre 1970 boats?
my boat may be a very early model, as it sat untouched in a friends yard, for what he says was over 35 years that hes lived there, and was there when he bought the house.
thanks

p.s. the only etched or numbers whatsoever on the boat aside from the corner casting position markers, is the # 4923 found on the outer side of the foreward pylons , etched in,
i just spent about 15 min searching for a number on the stern, nothing that i could find


If the boat is really early 70's the identifying info os on one of the forward pylons. I don't if it follows the newer boat convention. On newer boats, the idntifying number is on the transom, right side (I think), and is something like CCM0000X000, where the CCM is Coast Cat Manufacturing, the four zeros are the serial number, the X is a letter that denotes the type of boat (H16, 18, etc.) and the last three zeros denote the year of manufacture and model year. The last two are the model year and the first one is the year of manufacture. See discussion in the Open Forum.
