i was told it may be 1972 ericson 35' but no model # or name
thanks for your help
The HIN may be/should be on the title that you received, altho (the fall of) 1972 is said to be the initial year that an HIN was required. Keep a firm grip on your bill of sale and new title.
If it is on your hull, look anywhere on the transom, especially along the upper part.
If you look below this thread, you will see other referenced threads about the HIN (hull identification number). Your actual hull number is likely written on parts of your interior woodwork. Ours is written on the bottom of the access panels on our cabin sole... likely to help the EY cabinet shop keep tract of parts when they were constructing the boat.
If the boat came with an original main sail, it may also have the hull number on it.
Check your state vessel registration records also. (We can look up boats on-line here in Oregon.)
Going by the year, if your boat is a "35" it should be referred to as an Ericson 35 Mk 2 (or an E-35-2).
