Hi Dale,

Most manufacturers use a serial number. You could just as easily use your drivers license number or Social Security number. If you have a number that you use to identify your belongings for insurance purposes, use it.

If you sell the boat, give the new owner a letter transfering it over to him. Makes identification of stolen kayaks much easier and I know of several that have been recovered by a large local canoe and kayak shop.
