Re: [OMC-Boats] Hull Identification - Serial Numbers?

Historically ABYC grew out of the BIA. It's basically the STANDARDS setting organization that is made up of industry members. They also provide industry training.

An example of a STANDARD, they set is the method for calculating a hull's maximum horsepower rating. The manufacturers agree on the standard, the Coast Guard or local law enforcement agencies then enforce it.

Perfect - thanks! The "boatbuilders handbook" section was just
what i was looking for - the actual requirements per law. Yes, i
googled "coast guard boat design requirements" and got taken to a
totally different section of the coast guard site that had more to do
with ship building and sprinkler systems - Office of Design and
Engineering Standards it was called. I think they create redundant
departments just to make it as confusing as possible.

   Still don't get what the ABYC is all about if the Coast Guard
already has the legally enforceable stuff.
