[Public-List] how old is too old

[marco lavoie]

Hello Chris,
 
No oak on the outside it doesnt like sun it turns black and ungly..  Down bellow ,inside it's ok but not on the deck.
 
For the hull number check on upper str side of the transom it's printed on the gelcoat on newer boats.  On older ones their's a plate (sometimes) on top of the engine comptiment if not, last chance is the mainsail number if you got the old original one...
 
Mine's a 1968 never found the hull number on it    :-(
 
 
Chiao !
 
Marco.
