There have been some variations over the years, but generally the
numbers follow the pattern seen at 
http://www.alberg30.org/store/BuildersPlate.html
In that example, the number 3075584 indicates a 30 foot
boat, built in 1975, hull number 584.

> Where is the Hull plate/identification normally located?

Above the bridge deck under the companionway.

> When did they build them with a hull liner?

I'm not exactly sure, but it was sometime after 371,
which is a transition boat sharing some characteristics
with the old ones and some with the new.

> When did they build them with lead ballast instead of cast iron?

See the other discussion on ballast.  I hadn't been aware of any
lead-ballasted boats.
