18ft Pocket Cruiser

[talentin]

I recently inherited this 18ft trailerable sailboat. Can anybody help me identify the make and model? It is missing some rigging and a tiller, so i need info to be able to replace those parts. Thanks in advance!!

Like the VIN (vehicle identification number) on a motor vehicle, boats have a HIN (hull identification number) molded or etched into the fiberglass near the top of the transom, usually on the starboard side.

The name of the boat builder, manufacture date, and serial number are encoded in the HIN.

Here is a link to decoding HINs:
