I can not find any stenciled I.D. numbers on my 13'4 Sport I bought and just had painted. The only numbers that are available on the vessel are on a placard on the stern of the boat. Numbers read 4225 82D. Will some one please let me know what these numbers are? I have looked thru all post that I thought of looking. Thank you, Ron

HIN Serial Numbers: http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=61 You are missing some Letters in your numbers. They are there but can be very faint and hard to read... Most likely, BWCC M So your number would look like this: BWCC4225M82D Your boat was built in November or 1981 as a 1982 model. Edited by Joe Kriz on 05/19/10 - 12:34 PM

Take a closer look at your letters using a flash light and maybe a magnifying glass. I think you will see the missing numbers if you look from all angles. Edited by Joe Kriz on 05/19/10 - 1:08 PM
