Out of curiosity what number/letter combination did Illinois assign to you.
I'm curious because I don't see a MIC (Manuf. Id. Code) for CLC on the USCG
website and I collect information like this. I'm also interested if they are
conforming to the USCG HIN rules or making up their own. If it conforms to
CG rules I'll interpret the number for you if you would like. The
information Illinois gave you about affixing the number to the transom is
right out of the CG rule book. Note many manufacturers put the number above
the seam line (I suppose it could be argued that that is part of the "hull"
of a kayak even though most kayaker's would call that part the deck).
