Hi im going to look at a 40 skater in france, how is the hull id gonna look like and letters.. is there a second hull id on skaters somewhere. bregards leif

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...

​​​​​​​

what kind of letters and numbers are in the hull id

HIN Always starts with DUX (DOUGLAS MARINE CORP)

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)

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!

Which 40 is the better question 😂

sometimes they are in the tunnel. Sometimes they are on the transom

There must be someone here who can tell from the serial number.

Lief, were you looking at the 40' that was "MegaToy"?

The OP never posted a HIN.
