H.i.n. #
Well my transom is done and looks great, but I forgot to put my Hull ID# back on. This may cause problems. Since I did not reuse the old outer skin, I still have a good majority of the original in that i can cut and bring onthe boat to show.
Does anyone know how to go about making a new one on the back. I was thinking reverse stamps but don't know how they will work on fiberglass. And does anyone know if there is a second number located anywhere else on a 1989 V20 Cuddy OB, so I can show anyone that stops me and asks questions? Last edited by CaptJ; 07-15-2011 at 07:59 AM.

My previous boat kinda had the same issue. New transom, no HIN. I had an engraving shop engrave the HIN on aluminum plate and rivited that to transom where it belonged. This was on a Mako(thats how they attatched their HINs), dont know why you couldnt do it with your Wellcraft. It looked factory and I never had any issues when I was checked.

I don't know of a second place to look, to solve the prob I did what Draglink did. Trophy shop did the work. It is the black strip above the transom eye.

Some boats also had them on the inside, on the port side about 3/4 the way from the stern real close to the rub rail.
I'd Dremel the HID back in the location it came from and repaint a little heavy. Don't give them a chance to start thinking your boat has been salvaged, rebuilt or the like, that opens a huge can of worms.

Thanks for the responses, I tried an electric engraver over the weekend on a piece of the old transom and it barely scratched it. May have to go the do it on a plate like Ridgerunner and draglink.
I have an older dremel and will try that on the old transom, what type of bit would you use to write with?
