Solar Industries Canoe??
- Thread starter tnyankee
- Start date
If this canoe was built after November 1, 1972 and has SOL at the beginning of their hull identification number (HIN) then more information is available at http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_detail.aspx?id=SOL in the U.S. Coast Guard site.
The current user of the SOL code is Solar Star International and http://solarstarinternational.com/ may have more information. A prior owner of this code was Florida Dory and http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Casselberry/florida-dory-inc-2396581.aspx has more information. It appears that a "SANTA MRN BLD SW BTS" used this code before 1989 but it is not clear who they were.
The page at http://boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm has some good information about how to interpret the HINs and the page at http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx is good for researching manufacturers. Another resource for the larger modern companies is the Paddlesports Industry Association at http://www.paddlesportsindustry.org/PPAmain.asp?Option=VendorList&Type=Manufacturer but they have no listing for Solar.
Feel free to reply here if this doesn't answer your question,
