| Post subject: | Serial Number |
I wish Hobie would engrave the serial number with a readable stamp. It is very hard to read the etched number engraved by hand. Can't tell if a (0) or a (D) etc. I wrote down what I thought was the correct number for registration, but the etching is hard to define all of the digits. I bought my Outback from Small Boat Exchange in Shelburne, VT. and I recommend them highly. Is it possible to get the correct number based on what I interpreted from Hobie to confirm? |

The same number should be on a white sticker near it also. |

X2. It's a barcode sticker that has the serial number on it as well. I had the same confusion about mine as well and had to refer to the barcode sticker instead. |

CCM or HCC followed by a letter (model designation) followed by 4 digits (sequential serial number) then a letter (month of manufacture - a = January etc.) then 3 digits (year of mfg and model year) |

Rub some felt pen or talcum powder over the scratched-in version to make it more readable. Also thank your lucky stars you didn't have the problem I had on my boat, namely no serial number ! By the time I went to look the paper label was long since gone and the little window in which the number is usually scratched was as smooth as a baby's bottom. |
