I think I'd be tempted to remove the plate.... Rich

If she is a US vessel she does not seem to be in the USCG documentation data base, so you should look at your title and make sure it is properly recorded. My 25 has the same situation you illustrate. The HIM is 25225, but the C&C metal plate in the cockpit is 250225. That caused a lot of problems when I changed the title over from the Pennsylvania title (which was based on the information in the Maryland title I got from the PO) to the North Carolina title I have now. It just looks like C&C used a 4 digit hull number on the metal plate, instead of the 3 digits in the HIN.

I am trying to ensure that my paperwork is in order. And of course I noticed a discrepancy in the serial number in different documents. So I thought I would go to the source, namely the boat. However, the boat does not seem to agree with itself. According to the hull, the boat's serial number is 390600773. According to the C&C plate in the cockpit however the serial number is 39006074. See the pictures here: http://www.cruisingnet.com/cc.html Looking back through the documentation I have going way back to 1974, I have some documents that list one number, while others list the other. Anyone have any ideas?
