Boni-B, sorry I didn't reply sooner, this is the first time I have been back to this post. The hull is a 1983 226 Seafarer. I hadn't noticed that there weren't any stripes on the hull so your question prompted me to pull out the original brouchures that Grady-White provided me with and sure enough, they are supposed to be there.... I suppose the previous owner removed them, not sure. Thanks for the comment.
