If you have a shorter HIN, check it again and copy it correctly. The HIN identification number is a series of unique numbers assigned by the manufacturer to a boat.

For the boats with replaceable hulls, the HIN can be fixed to the aft crossbeam. Before buying a boat, ensure that you have checked the HIN. It is possible to miss the HIN if you do not see it, then you should inquire from the seller. Just like VIN in cars, you cannot chan the HIN without authorization. [links]

About Boat Hull Identification Numbers
Hull identification numbers are typically located on the upper right hand part of the transom or aft starboard side in the case of double ended vessels. On fiberglass boats, they are molded right into the hull itself by the manufacturer. State or Coast Guard assigned numbers may be affixed by a decal or plate. Beginning with August 1, 1984, manufacturers were also required to affix a hidden identification number to some unexposed location on the interior of a boat. Most surveyors and law enforcement officials will know where to look on specific models. [links]
I would be curious to know the purpose of the pulley’s in the rear, the only thing I could think of would be for a Bimini top or some sort of steering controls that were rigged up for a non-tiller handle motor in the past. here
With the steering cable pulleys, I suspect either the front deck was modified at some time, maybe shortened and the steering wheel removed, or there could have been a deck with a steering wheel at the middle or rear seat – maybe a double-decked boat. Look along the sides for what may have been mounting holes in the past for decks and for another set of pulleys up farther where the steering wheel would have been. These holes are likely now filled in with screws and nuts, or pop-rivets. [links]
Here are some I took the day I got it home (different engine), but I can get more tonight once I get home.
Hello all, I recently purchased a 14ft v-hull boat with a Johnson FD-11, and I am having trouble finding information on the boat. The boat is a 14ft deep v-bottom, aluminum, riveted, 3 bench seats, little metal triangle trays in both rear corners, there is also a small 2″ pulley just above each of the trays, the front 2ft or so is enclosed with a 2’x2′ access door that uses an old Rockford key to open. The hull id / serial number that’s on the transom is: B31 3 56 1C6. I’ve searched everywhere, including the USCG manufacturers list (B31 is not listed), and can only assume its a pre 1972. From what I’ve read, there is not real consistency on hull id’s this old, so I am hoping someone here may have some info!
Some of the detail looks like Lund boat, but other details do not. http://www.fiberglassics.com has an aluminum boat section by manufacturer in their “library” . If you want to take the time, to search there, you may stumble on an old brochure with a photo that matches or comes close. A lot of companies have come and gone over the years. You are right that the hull number (or some manufacturers called it a serial number) has to be pre-1972. I’d compare photos closely for the same rear corners and the seat and floor rib details.
