A Boat Number, often referred to as a registration number, is a unique identifier assigned by a state or governing body for the purpose of registering and tracking the vessel, typically displayed on the hull. In contrast, a Hull ID Number (HIN) is a 12-character alphanumeric code assigned by the manufacturer that uniquely identifies a specific boat, providing information about its manufacturer, model, and year of production. While the Boat Number is primarily for regulatory purposes, the Hull ID Number serves as a means of identification throughout the boat's lifecycle.
