Unfortunately, serial numbers are only for honest people.
Actually, all boat manufactures like myself are required by the Coast Guard to have 2 hull identification # 's on any vessel when built. One on the outside, but there is a duplicate hidden # somewhere else. In case the outside one is been tampered with by theft. So, keep your sales slip, it will have the serial # on it.
