I think Didier found his numbers in the frontal rope locker area, glassed to the side of the hull. Other boats from where I think this one was built, in Cortland, New York, have the "N" suffix on them, and some of those have a serial number just below the nose rail on the frontal port side, and just below the rub rail on the aft starboard side.
Many times the numbers are stamped on the underside of drawers, and on occasion we have found it scrawled out in pencil in electrical cabinets too.
Good luck on the hunt.
