[Rhodes22-list] what is the oldest R22

[Mark Whipple]

Carl,

Your hull ID number was probably assigned by the state when the boat was
first registered in NJ. Since it was built before HIDs were required it
most likely didn't have one. Boats that were required to have an HID when
built also have that number imprinted on the hull.
