The Hull ID will be on the top right hand corner of the Transom. There is no plate or anything fancy on mine, it actually looks like it was scribed in to the paint with a ice pick...

You can always call the factory - 1 269-857-4308 to verify the HIN and if its a hull where the fuel tanks were prone to failure (if they haven't already been tended too)

Default Skater hull ID

Mine is same style. My fiberglass guy was shocked by how rough it looks.

The last 3 digits may be the serial number. (My 28 is serial number 107, and the last 3 digits look like 101 or 107)

Please post some photos of the boat!
