HIN Location

Post by marcus »

I am considering buying a SC17, but I couldn't find the hull id.

Where should the HIN be located? Is it supposed to be located on each hull?

If it makes a difference, it's one of the ones made by Boston Whaler

The HIN may have also been attached to a metal plate that was screwed or riveted to the hull. If there are numbers molded into the hull, don't confuse the hull/mold number with the HIN. The HIN will always start with 3-letters representing the manufacturer.
