Hello, last fall I purchased a 14" Alumacraft, it had been in the sellers family since new but he didn't know much about it. Using the great posts/pics on here as well as measurements I've come up with it as a model FD. I have two questions, first is where to find the HIN number. The owner had said there was a tag on the wood transom and that it had fell off 20 years ago, I can kind of see where it was, inside right hand side. I'm wondering if the number is imprinted on the boat elsewhere. I looked for a stamping on the transom but didn't see anything, but maybe someone with more knowledge can direct me to exactly where is should be on this year and model. Unfortunately my state did not require the HIN to be given for registration and boats of this type did not require a title (I have since paid to have it titled) so while I have all the paperwork from the state on registration none of it has the HIN on it.
My second question is about a cover on the bow. I'm just wondering what it was called (bow cover?) and if anybody had any more info on it, like if its rare or did they all come with it, also anyone know what the cost was in 1970?
Thanks for any help!
