CF number history? Very strange cf number on my hull.

Hello all,
Last year I decided I would build my first v-drive, so like everyone else the search led to craigslist. I found a hull for $1500 that was bare, last reg '93 and the trailor '92. Got my excitement all built up, brought it home without a lick of paperwork, and have been learning and doing a whole lot since (much thanks to this forum).

So I have run across a few things that seem odd (please fire off any and all opinions).

1)there is a curved rear transom,
2)tag in the center of hull,
3)trailor came with the reminants of a MANDELLA (Louis Brummet) lisc plate frame.
4)When installing new (stick_on CF #'s) I sanded off previous CF, only to find a 3rd set (OLD) cf's....

So the oddest thing of all to me? After re-reading an e-mail I sent off, I noticed the tag in the center of the hull was the same numbers buried in paint under the CF. The PREVIOUS number (and hull number I guess) is 98156781. Anyone have any idea why this tag in the boat isn't a registerable number, and why the "original vin" would be displayed where the current Cf is supposed to be?

Where did u get the Serial number can you take a picture of a wider view. I'm in search of the serial number and Carson Brummett said it's by the vdrive area but my inside is painted.

The matching hull # and CF number is not unusal. Somebody made up the hull tag to meet DVM requirement for a hull ID, and the DMV gave it that number.

I bought a 19 ft Hallett from Mouzer sometime back. He remembers the boat. When I registered it, they issued me a hull number, and the CF number has the same last or 5 numbers as the hull number they issued me.
