The new guy, just purchased a carver Montego that was abandoned

[jjames87]

My name is Joey, I bought a 89 32 Montego

CDRN5026H889

I bought it from a couple that bought the lot it was sitting on, it was someones project, but then he passed away. It has been sitting for a few years and has had its share of parts taken from it, but it seems to have good bones. I have to inspect the hull once I get it for the boat yard. If anyone can help with the model number that would be great
Apparently it's 5026. But it's a 32 footer so I'm really confused

Thanks, I've been trying to figure it out for a few days now. I'll be sure to take pictures when I get it from the boat yard

If this is it, here is some additional info from the PowerBoat Guidebook:

The hull number can be decoded to tell you the build date, the number of the hull in succession it was built. I don't have the code definition, but you can find it online easy enough. Welcome, good luck with the project. er

I think the H means the hull was built Aug of 88
