if there is an HIN, how will that tell me what it is?The HIN is usually stamped in the glass correct?[/quotethe first 3 letters of the HIN dictates the manufacturer as per the USCG MIC db. It will tell who actually built the boat. Look it up there:http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspxthe HIN is normally found on the passenger side rear. stamped into the fiberglass. if the boat has been painted or gelcoated it sometimes gets filled in.
What year is it claimed to be? Before '72 (I think) they didn't have the numbers stamped into the hull.
Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer. Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!
