I am looking at a 2012 Beneteau that is being sold by surviving family members. They do not know much about the boat but gave me the serial number. I am interested in getting the original configuration as built new such as what keel, mast height, sail plan . The boat is in the water so I can't see the keel. If it has a deep keel and not inter-coastal mast height I'm not interested in going further on it. I'd rather not spend the $ for a survey only to find the basics are a no go for me. Thanks for any help.
Can a serial number provide original build configuration

Welcome to the forum!!
The boat's configuration, based on it serial number, may be best answered by Beneteau BENETEAU | The World's Largest Dealer Network or the original Beneteau dealer. The 41 keel configuration, draft, mast height and sail plan may be found in these links SailboatData.com - OCEANIS 41 (BENETEAU) Sailboat and possibly Océanis 41.1 (Deep draft) vs Océanis 41.1 (Shoal draft) - Boat-Specs.com .

Thanks for that. I just got a response from Beneteau (cheers to them for a fast reply) The vessel with this S/N was shipped from the SC facility with a deep draft. Oh Well. Keeping looking. I'll keep your links for reference, so thanks for those.
