The Hull number is found on an oval "builders" plate mounted on the aft (cockpit) side of the forward end of the coamings (wash rail). Often this plate is missing, particularly in older boats. Replacement plates are available (see hardware). The hull number is also located on the forward face of the stern post (this is the wooden piece which runs halfway up the middle of the transom at the aft end of the cockpit). It is usually necessary to scrape and/or sand away some paint to "bring out" these numbers. With these numbers we can tell you at least the age and first owner of your Beetle Cat. Beetle Cats built between 1920 and 1945 were not numbered. Hull numbering began in 1946 with Hull Number 1 being the first boat built that year.

Fasteners
Fasteners for hardware are included with purchase of hardware item. All other fasteners used in the Beetle Cat are also available for purchase in bronze or stainless steel. Ask for prices.
Note: Only steel or stainless steel fasteners should be used below the waterline in hulls built before 1973 (before hull #1536), otherwise rapid deterioration of the existing fasteners may result from galvanic action between dissimilar metals.
Notes on Innovations After 1972
1973 (Starting with hull #1536) all fasteners (screws, bolts, nails) are silicon bronze (previously these were galvanized iron). This was done to prevent rust and the damage it does to wood.
1985 Clew outhaul on boom becomes standard equipment.
1985 Coaming fasteners are wooden bunged.
1986 The two side coamings are book-matched (made from one plank of wood split down the middle on edge and "opened" like a book, keeping the forward end of the plank together as the binder). This results in coamings which match in both grain characteristic and color.
1986 Spar racks (forward and aft for use when trailering) are introduced.
1987 Prototype plywood centerboard is put into use.
1987 Deck and rig hardware, previously sand-cast in brass, is now investment cast in silicon bronze for greater uniformity and durability.
1988 Extensions of bailer boards (bailer boards are the loose floorboards either side of the centerboard box) are made removable to allow access (via a simple latch) to the bilge beneath the cockpit.
1989 Centerboards are produced in plywood. Lead centerboard weight is moved away from edge of board for greater hold and ease of fairing.
1990 Combination Sail and Cockpit Cover is introduced. Unlike the standard cockpit tent, this cover has no ridge pole, requires no cut-out in the boom crutch, and allows mainsheet to run directly from boom to cockpit cleet.
1994 Port bow chock is introduced. This chock is the "mirror image" match for the standard starboard bow chock.
1994 Standard centerboard is now faired on the trailing and leading edges.
1994 Peak outhaul on gaff becomes standard equipment.
1996 Rubrail fasteners are wooden bunged.
1997 Standard rudder is now faired on trailing edge.
1998 Traveler now equiped with end stoppers.
1999 Cockpit paint is now optional. Natural wood (unfinished cedar) is now the standard cockpit.
