I have read that there is supposedly two places where hull numbers are located on vessels, one typically on the transom and the other in a hidden place that only the manufacturer is supposed to know, but often they are carved in place in very visible locations of the inner hull.

I purchased a brand new Hobie tandem Island Adventurer a few years back and it was not numbered at the factory, so I had to write to Hobie to ask for them to assign one for titling. I was thinking of placing my own hull identification on it, being a Star Wars fan - "Hobie-Wan Kenobi"

With reference to the oval bronze plate - I believe the 4 digits displayed would be 3411 for your vessel - try contacting Jonathan Cannon at Cheoy Lee in Hong Kong:

Jon has been an invaluable resource for answers to some other questions about my boat - a 1980 Cheoy Lee Offshore 38 (sloop rig, Ray Richards design) - very likely a sister ship to yours!

Good luck, and please post here with anything you learn...

Cheoy Lee may have some manufacturing info for you. I also had the reverse mount engine and Borg Warner gear with a grease cup, but only one cutlass bearing for the 1 1/4" shaft. Hope this helps.

What does the grease cup lubricate?
