"If you are unable to find your boats serial number on the top starboard 
side corner of your transom...right on the very right top corner...then it 
means that someone has worked and fiberglassed your transom and has covered 
the number over."

This is not true - the boats prior to 1973 did NOT have the numbers embedded 
in the hull.

Hi there....
If you are unable to find your boats serial number on the top starboard side 
corner of your transom...right on the very right top corner...then it means 
that someone has worked and fiberglassed your transom and has covered the 
number over.
My brother had his A30 hull and deck gellcoated and they covered the serial 
number which was about 1/8 of an inch sunk into the hull. I pointed this 
fact out to my brother but he did not care to much about not having the 
serial number.
My A30 for sure has this number and also the same number shows on a small 
plate screwed on the companionway right above the compass well.
Take care Villo
