That number is the Coast Guard Doc #. On the net you can find only limited info here: http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/st1/Coas...esselByID.html

More info may be discovered by ordering an Abstract Of Title (for $25) from the Coast Guard here: https://vcart.velocitypayment.com/uscg/

The Chris Craft Hull ID should be on the boat somewhere. If you find it, you can get more info on your boat here: http://www.mariner.org/

I found mine stamped on the wood frame where the generator covers lift out. I was working (what else) on a wiring problem, and as I was slowly lifting me head facing forward on the boat to get out of the engine compartment, there it was.

RDP-38-0503

I also found the Coast Guard number painted on the metal frame.

Mine is etched into one of the beams in the engine room in front of the battery.

I am new to both the forum and soon to be a new Roamer skipper. We are looking a one of the rare 74ft rrRoamers designed by Roy Hunt and Derecktor. The question I have deals with the date of manufacture of the hull verses the completion. In the CC Essentials book it shows only one of these completed with a hull number of RM 74-505. On the data with the craft we are considering, the hull number is RMP 73-0501.1. What is happening here? I cant find anyother big Roamers like this. Is the 505 the real finished craft number and the 501.1 the initial hull or prototype desoignation or are there actually other boats like this out there? Where would we find the protocols used by Roamer and CC to number these yachts?
Any thoughts?
