Thanks Jason: The serial number, which was located on the top right corner is A(8)(Q)27097F585. The number was difficult to read so there was some uncertainty regarding the 2nd and 3rd digits. The 2nd digit was either 8 or B, the 3rd digit was either Q or O. I was unable to determine the hull # when I saw the boat.

Thank you for your help, Mark
