Re: what kind of boat?

you can use the hin numbers to at least find the manufacturer

heres a link http://boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm

use this to get your letters then go to the bottom of the page and you will see the coast guard "click here" thing and it will take you through the steps to find the manufacturer.

one of my boats that i couldnt find anything on using the name on the side was made by performance products manufacturer................. i wondered why a guy had a boat identical to mine (less the color) and his said performer and mine said venture

hope this helps

The HIN on our boat is stamped into the fiberglass on the transom.

I wouldn't worry about it. That giant cardboard box will probably be finished eating it by the time you figure it out anyway...

Hopefully the box monster at least leaves you the trailer!

Re: what kind of boat?

did you find the hin?

they should be on the upper starboard side of transom......... sometimes they are on plates and sometimes they are stamped like rbh said above.

after you use the hin to get the mic (first the letters) you can find out more info using the links posted...... hopefully the manufacturer isnt out of business.
