    Serial number confusion

    looking at a hull with serial number OQTL0272H708. I know this is a boat manufactured by Vanguard in 2007 for model year 2008. The confusion is the sail number. The cockpit sticker shows 191458 as the sail number. Based on that sticker I think the serial number should be OQTJ1458H708...

It's not the mast step though. But the baffling part of the leak is that the hull holds air. When I remove the drain plug...
