Where is the hidden hull id number on a 1984 cobia sunskiff 180 boat?

How can I tell when a boat was manufactured based on the hull id number?

  • I have a hull id that ends in D202 if that means anything.

  • Answer:

    Use the first three letters of the HIN, that identifys the manufacturer, with that information look to their web site or search yahoo groups for manufacturer groups. Older HIN numbers are different from new ones, my 1974 Chrysler has the middle digits identifying year. HIN came in 1973, so if the boat is older than that you have just a serial number that had no formal code from different manufacturers, so it could mean anything. If the boat is a 2002 year the Coast Guard or Transport Canada identification plate should id the model and year. This plate will be located near the controls or steering depending on the boat.
