Top Highlights
- Neglect is fatal to wooden boats.
- SINCE 1972 BOAT MANUFACTURERS have been required to mold a 12-character hull identification number (HIN) into the transom. The prescribed code is easy to decipher. It generally looks something like this: PEA74155L485. The first three characters are the manufacturer, the next five the model designation and the production number in the series.
- Fiberglass generally reveals stress problems with cracks in the gelcoat.
- Panting occurs when poorly supported sections of the hull flex as the boat drives through the waves. This problem is also called oilcanning,
- The classic sign is a series of near-parallel cracks, sometimes crescent shaped, in the gelcoat.
