Re: hin #

Any idea of the make, model of the boat? Obviously, it is a 1989 model. Not every manufacturer used a combo of letters & numbers, although most did. There are some that just used mostly numbers.

Re: hin #

A HIN starts with 3 letters. Are you sure about the 3N2?

So, where IS the paperwork? Many, many sad stories here of people buying a boat without it, and the hoops they jumped through to register it later. Sometimes it isn't even possible. Be careful.

Re: hin #

Stratos used several MIC codes (MIC is the first 3 letters)

BNZ is the one you are trying to read.

They also used GSN, PSS, and TTA.
