Re: [Cal_Boats] info /(Mick) Hull Number

Mick, To my knowledge, the 2-29 was an option. With that you got a diesel, wheel steering and a different head configuration. Same hull, same rig. Another place they put hull numbers was on the bottom of drawers in the salon. I'm not making this up. But if you have the CG documentation it should tell you the hull number.

Also (if it helps or not) she is a documented vessell with no state assigned number. I'm thinking from what I've seen 1972 mid production was when they changed over to the CAL 2-29.

Mine is a 1972 also, and doesn't have the standard CABxxxxxx number. You may have a state assigned number, usually when a title is issued. You can find the real Cal Boats number by looking in the starboard lazerette, up high on the hull. A three digit number painted and covered with polyester. Mine is 411. I found this info right here.

I'm info / specifications starved for this boat and am wondering if you have any more or can point me to where I can find more of the spec manual? I love the way this boat sails as well as the room below. I am initiating a couple of projects this new year: Project #1, I have already set into motion, is I'm having a aluminum trailer built and plan on incorporating a mast stepping solution to allow me to trailer her as well as launching / retrieval on a almost demand basis. Project 2 is to convert the tiller to an Edson Pedestal wheel steering. I'm looking forward to Great fun ahead and anything you have in the way of information regarding the Cal 29 would be greatly appreciated! Regards, -- Walter (Mick) J.

David, On the Certificate of Documentation there's a "IMO or Other Number" space and it lists "FLZ3349F572". How do I extract the (my) Hull Number from this?

Walter, the number that you list "FLZ3349F572" is a State-Issued Hull I.D. Number, not a Jensen Marine issued (USCG?) HIN. So, most likely the Jensen Hull # is not included in that HIN. It appears that Florida at least tried to incorporate the original Model Year into the number, "572" I assume means that your boat was built in May of 1972. The Jensen Marine/Cal Boats HINs all started with "CAB" and theoretically would not appear on a boat built prior to November of 1972 (ie: starting with 1973 model year.). Rod Johnson, "NODROG" 1970 CAL 21, hull#285

Thanks, I took the old headliner down and found 341 written on the back of both pices. This also corosponds with an old survey I recieved from my seller that lists Hull # 341 and that this number was removed so as not to conflict with some HID requirements that assigned the other number that was on the Document. Thanks one and all. Walter (Mick) McNichols CAL29 #341 On 12/29/07, Rodney G Johnson <rj… [at] juno.com> wrote: > > Walter, the number that you list "FLZ3349F572" is a State-Issued Hull > I.D.
