that brings up a good point. It is a way for identification. Read an article just last week which was talking about the economy and how boat insurance claims have tripled in the last two years. Many of these claims have been found out to be false. So now people who want to just ditch their boats are going through extreme measures of sandpapering any identifiers (such as boat name) and filing any serial numbers off.

There was one story in the article of a guy who sunk his boat on purpose. Almost got away with it to, until the state decided to raise it do to environmental concerns and found the perfectly drilled hole in his hull.
