Montauk Aluminum S/N Plate Questions
A Little Madness	#1  Posted on 10/21/10 - 4:42 AM
Member Personal Page Posts: 96 Comments: 0 Joined: 04/01/07	I "had" an aluminum plate on the starboard stern (exterior) about 1" x 4" that had what I believe to be the Hull ID S/N. The rivets finally gave up the ghost and when cleaning the hull the other day it fell off ...on shore. Is this the standard Montauk Hull ID plate? Where can I order a replacement?

You cannot just order a replacement but you can make a new easily or have a trophy shop make one for you. The HIN tag is easily installed with four 1/8" pop-rivets.

I had a piece of stanless in the approximate size so I bought a $5 stamp set at the local hardware store and made it my self. Mounted with screws and silicone it will never rot off again. It looks sharp as well. My .02
