Ive done that, with both of my boats. I just hand wrote into the bare wood, with an ink pen. It'd be pretty hard to sand out without damaging the boat.

: Bill --

: I'm sorry to hear about your boat. That's awful.

: You might want to keep an eye on Ebay to see if it turns up there--

: I've thought about attaching identification in an inconspicuous place in the
: hull -- perhaps under the deck, where a thief wouldn't spot it and sand it
: off--(e.g. "built by ____" & date of completion)... which
: would make it much easier to establish the claim that it is *mine* if it
: ever turns up stolen.... and that will increase the sentimental heirloom
: value someday for my nephews/nieces when I die & they wind up with my
: little flotilla.

: I don't really have to worry when I'm at home, but I am cautious about
: leaving kayaks unattended on the roof rack when I'm travelling. Your
: experience underscores the need for that caution!
