[Alberg30] A30 Questions?

[Mike Lehman]

Yes the serial #s usually go like 3072505 (30=length; 72=year; 505=hull#). 
If you need a new plate they are $5 and I'll make one for you, just send me 
you ser# and address.

number?

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.

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.
