Why a Stolen Boat VIN Check is Important Before Buying A Used One

In the world of boats, a HIN (Hull Identification Number) is the equivalent of a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for land-based vehicles. Any boat that has been manufactured after November 1, 1972, must have a HIN. But as HIN is always used interchangeably with VIN, this post will follow the trend too.

A VIN for a boat is like a fingerprint. Not only is it unique to a specific boat but it also gives a lot of information such as finance, recalls, insurance, registration, titling, and more. When you carry out a stolen boat VIN check, you will get all these particulars and will instantly know if the boat is genuine and can be bought. Since all this information is taken from a database maintained by the Government of Australia, you can be sure that the stolen boat VIN check report can be depended upon.


To know the VIN of the boat, look at the transform of the boat on the right starboard side. The VIN is embossed on a plastic or metal plate attached within a couple of inches from the top of the transom, gunwale, or deck joint whichever is lower.

When you ask for and get a stolen boat VIN check report from the seller – you can also get it directly from specialized websites by providing the VIN- you will get all the details about your intended purchase. Know about the state of registration, title data, and all specifications of the boat like the year of manufacture, length, propulsion, model, recall, and warranty details. By checking these against the boat, you will ensure that your investment does not go to waste.
