Many of the older boats had a seriel number on a plate usually attached to the inside on or near the transom. The Hull Identification Number system din not exsist back then.

Re: alum boat

cool!! Ive got one Just like the boat in that first link you showed. The red and tan one. I got it when i was 14 and was going to redo it i spent everyday after school stripping it down it must have had 20 coats of paint what a job. It had cable and pully operated steering and controls. i still have it and some of the parts it is stripped down to just a hull. Seeing that picture makes me want to get back on it and get it back to original.
