Allen, Boat number unknown. I owned a windmill previously (167) that had the # carved into the forward section of the keel piece, however that has been replaced due to rot on this windmill prior to my owning it. I don't have the sails yet for my current boat but i am working on it. No plans either. After I read your post I took a second look and see what you mean. It's very obvious and I feel silly for missing it. I will still take any advice you have. Jmitchell102184@gmail.com

Thanks much!
