Tag is not on back of boat. Is there any other place an id tag or stamp could be? I have a split rear seat and 3 bench style seats

May have been a metal tag on the wood part of the transom which fell off, could be a pre 1974 and there were no HIN required.......

You don't give year of boat - if very old may not have a number
Look very closely at upper right quadrant of transom. The number should be stamped into the metal - may be difficult to see!

I don't know the year, seems newer but no way of knowing. Maybe 90's.

Looks like there was a tag at one time but it's been removed and painted over. I was hoping there would be a second location or maybe I can guess at a year by the sticker scheme

I bought it with no title or documentation other than a bill of sale

Ok. I don't know what state you're in but you may have trouble getting it licenced/registered without correct title. All I can say is to look real close at the transom and hope there is a number there. If its been painted it will be very difficult to see.

I know, I may need an inspection to get a hull ID issued. I'm trying to avoid that. I know the 16 footers have a stamp on the transom brace. Was hoping the v14 also had more than one ID

Re: Can't find hull ID on v14 alumacraft

Anyone have any other ideas?

I would try and learn what it's going to take to document the boat in your state (you haven't mentioned what state. Some here have been so bold as to look up the info for you if they knew which state you were talking about). Most states have something online. Check it out and see just what you need.

Noting your occupation, certainly you will have few problems through your contacts with obtaining a lost/replacement title!!! :)

I live in new York. My occupation is why I want to do this right. I have an application from parks and rec to get a new ID but I'm not sure if they'll issue one for a manufactured boat
