hi ive just bought a 32 oceanfarer that i am very pleased with i havent put it on the water yet because ive just changed the engines from v8 petrols to 2.5di ford diesels my question is this how do i find out the age? the hull number has been painted over many times the deck number appears to be 487 c 001 but is very faint also what size props can you recommend most of time will be on the river avon but in my bucket list will want to do coastal looking forward to next season many thanks scuffy

First of all congratulations to your new boat!
Check the deck number again. Could it be 3207 C 001? If that's the case, your vessel is propably built in 1977.

thank you i will look again the boat came to me with no history at all ! i have noticed that my boat doesnt have the "lumps" on the deck above the transom would this help date the boat????

Congrats on a nice boat!
It would be helpful if you uploaded a couple of pictures of your boat. Several little tell-tales changed over the years, and we can help narrowing down the possible years.

Lumps ? Explain please

There was a 32 of for sale in England that in fact was a 30 of. Does your boat have metal vents on deck above the transom ?

Hello again, if it's à Six digit Number it could be 807-001 meaning it's a 1967 30 of. Look again....

ive sent some photos to bengt because im not sure how to send to club maybe he can send them in for me! it does have metal vents but the stickers at rear of hull say coronet 32 even though i had to do an engine swop at £5000 gbp i think ive had a good buy

When we asked the designer Hans Bruun Bertelsen which models he was most proud of he said - 30 oceanfarer and 21 DC. Your coronet is despite the stickers a 30 foot oceanfarer and if you have any questians don't hesitate to ask me. My first coronet was in fact a 30
Oceanfarer that I later on sold to Fredrik Stenhög the chairman of the club.
IF you want to bring her back to her former glory the club can provide you with many spareparts and other useful items

thank you for the information i will look again on the weekend to see if i can work out the numbers ! where did they add 2ft? could i chk by taking a measurement? looks like it could be an early boat if the nos 001 mean anything

There is a document at FAQ in the websites meny regarding the serial number.
They added 2 feet at the end of the boat.
The number under the deck is a parts number and the boat got the final identity when it was about to be ready to leave the factory.
Your boat is for sure a30 of. Was it sold as a 32, get a photo of the 32 sticker
I got your photos. Take some more and mail them to me.
Does your boat have the original fuel tanks ?
