So ... who made your boat?
Link to USCG Hull Identification Number (HIN) database = https://www.uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification.php
See the example below. But be cautioned ... where older manufacturers may be out of business for YEARS (as in decades) is it quite possible that the 3-digit HIN was re-issued to a new company. So one needs to assess the age/styling of a boat to be able to determine the true owner.
