About Us

What Is a HIN (Boat VIN), and Where Can You Find It?

A Hull Identification Number (HIN) is a unique identifier assigned to a boat, similar to a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a car. It helps identify the boat’s manufacturer, production details, and model year.

If a dealer or private seller has not provided a Boats Registry (BR) Boat History Report, consider requesting one before purchasing. A boat history report can help you review available vessel information and make a more informed buying decision.

Where Can You Find the HIN?

The HIN is typically permanently affixed, engraved, or stamped on the boat’s hull in one of these locations:

  1. Upper-right corner of the transom

    The rear of the boat is the most common location.

  2. Under the swim platform

    Some boats have the HIN positioned near or beneath the platform.

  3. Official documents

    The HIN may also appear on the boat’s state title, registration, U.S. Coast Guard documentation, or insurance paperwork.
