I have a 1991 Bayliner Trophy 20' but on the title the Make is listed as ARD and the Model is listed as POGPR the HIN # is BL3B56FFL091. Can anyone help me ID this boat

The HIN wins. The MIC code at the beginning of the HIN is Bayliner's. 91 at the end seems to match your thoughts. Dunno' what's going on with your title. Does the title have a HIN listed on it?

I can tell it is a Bayliner from 1991. I looked up the HIN (https://www.hindecoder.com/) and found this...

The manufacturer identification code (MIC) of your craft identification number (CIN or HIN) is BL3. This MIC (BL3) stands for the company name Bayliner Marine Corp which is currently Out of Business. This boat manufacturer has other company names (BL3 sometimes goes by these name(s) Maxum Marine, , , or .

This company (Bayliner Marine Corp) is owned by Jack Lindsey and is located at E 18001 EUCLID in SPOKANE state of WA. It manufactured this vessel and placed your HIN or CIN on the hull. The Parent Company for this boat maker is BRUNSWICK MARINE (BLB). Bayliner Marine Corp has started making boats, yachts and other watercraft as of 6/21/1982 12:00:00 AM and went out of business on (3/30/1999 12:00:00 AM)

What's listed on a title as far as make/model/type goes is often rather unreliable for identification purposes. I've had several vehicles over the years where the make/model is nothing even remotely close to what it actually is, though the VIN/Serial number always matched (or at least it should).
