[Public-List] Number plates

[Michael]

that builder's plate is the best you are going to get as far as VIN. 
Whitby varied the order of the numbers sometimes. Sometimes the hull 
number was put before the year.
I just looked at the Bill of Sale and the Certificate of Documentation 
for Checkmate; CG official number is all that is there.
I got one of those replacement plates but I thought it was Jim Menucci 
who was organizing that effort.

And why the Mexican Government does not like official numbers 
is...misguided. That number is supposed to be permanently carved into 
the main beam. As opposed to a couple of self tapping screws holding an 
aluminum tag.

Mexico wants to see a VIN on my Coast Guard documents. My understanding, per the Coast Guard, is that builders didn't start putting serial numbers on hulls until the 70's. The curious thing is that there is a builders plate on the bridge deck. It has 306443 for the serial number. I remember a post years ago in which someone was asking these plates. I think a group of owners ordered some from a vendor  because they either never had one or it had been lost. Does anyone know any details about this? Any idea when Whitby started putting builder plates on?Regards,Greg
