That has nothing to do with your hull number. It's your (or a previous owner) USCG documentation number. If you have the documentation paperwork, it will have the hull number and date of manufacture. You should also be able to find the hull number on drawers if you remove them.I have a New (to me) Hatteras 41C I think. It is supposedly a 1965 with the #501464NET18 on the plate in the Front Rope locker. What is my hull # ???
No, your boat doesn't weigh 18 tons. That is a measure of volume, not of weight. I don't think listing a hull number has anything to do with bragging rights, but in my case, I discovered two members here who had hull numbers consecutive with both my Hatt's. Pretty cool, I thought.
Yeah, but you also said that threads get five stars because of how quickly replies are posted.As I said its a build # now maybe Randy has two? Or it landed up as the same #?
He did not make that clear.
But from Hatteras the woman that use to take care of this stuff told me on the phone back then they would put a build # on all the draws and and many other pieces to know what boat it was for.
Hull #s were assigned when the boat was sold that is why a boat build in 1964 could have a # and Reg saying it was 1965.
My #s are different as is all the other older Vintage Hatts I know of but I am sure Randy's is different just like the Owner
Plenty of Older boats here so the rest should speak up.
My Hull # is 326 but my draw # was lower like 314 not sure have to look again, I said maybe things got switched around and Hatteras told me NO Build # 316 became Hull #326
It was amazing they had all that Info that was when I got a copy of original invoice with the Name blanked out. Which I knew the original name was Dr Stewart and boat name was Oyster Stew I am # 6 owner and know them all but 1. Hatteras had the name I was missing because he registered but would not tell me the name!
Yeah, but how much beer is on your boat? Still, you know that the 18 ton spec on the document has nothing to do with weight... right?

It's been a while, but I'm 99% sure my hull number is on the dresser drawers. My 58 had a metal plate with the HIN that was mounted in the ER (in addition to being engraved in the transom), but HIN's didn't come into play until 1972. I'm not aware of an imprinted hull number on my 41, but I was surprised no hull number or manufacturer was listed on the documentation of that 41C.
Assuming one does not have matching cabinet numbers, how can you determine the hull number without contacting Hatteras? You would think the hull number would have to be on the hull someplace.

Apparently reeding isn't yores neether.
