Hull Identification Number (HIN) / Boat VIN

What’s a HIN (boat VIN) and where do I find it?

• The Hull Identification Number (HIN) serves as the boat’s unique identifier, similar to the VIN or vehicle serial number of a car. If the dealer or private seller listing the boat has not provided you with a report from Go Inspect Pro®, ask them to provide you with the boat’s GIP report so that you can check the condition before you make a drive.

• The HIN is affixed or stamped into the back of the boat’s hull also known as the transom in the uppermost right corner or under the swim platform. Also, the HIN may be stated on the state title, state registration, USCG Documentation, and insurance documents. For boats 1984 and newer, Federal regulations mandate the HIN must follow the format in the image below.

 Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

The VIN is located on the vehicle. For cars and trucks it is located here:

• On the driver’s side dashboard ( viewable through the windshield )

• On the driver’s side door ( on a sticker in the door jamp )

Motorcycles each have a VIN on them but it may be located on a variety of places on the frame.
