Several years ago, somebody donated a H16 to a scout troop. It was missing a number of things and sat around until the scoutmaster decided he wanted to get rid of it. My sister adopted it and than traded it to me.



It is a very old H16 and the current laws require that I register it before I can sail it. So, I called the Parks & Wildlife Department, and they want to know the hull serial number so they can locate the previous registered owner, if any (to fill out all the registrations, etc.).



Actually, at one point the PWD rep told me it is probably not worth my while going through all the legal hoops - that I would spend more on registrations, etc. than the boat is worth. I hope not, I spent a small bundle buying spare parts and fixing things already.



Anyway, I can't find a serial number anywhere. Where should I be looking? I have seen a number of posts on the model year, is there a way to determine the age of the boat?



Thanks,

TGR
