Where do you find the VIN on an old boat?

Usually on the transom - it might be a thin plate covered by layers of paint. To be more precise, after October, 1972 vessels built in the United States were required to place 12 digit hull identification numbers (sometimes referred to as HIN) on the vessel's hull. The HIN is typically sighted on the starboard side transom of these vessels. These numbers are typically imprinted or engraved into the hull. Foriegn made vessels will typically have a hull manufactuerer number somewhere on the back quarters of the exterior hull or inside the hull. These foriegn vessels are not HIN numbers like you see in the United States but more hull numbers based on how many were produced of that model (such as "hull number 512").
