I am a life long Boston Whaler die hard and owner, These Boats are so good that I have just spent a lifetime boating without hardly any trouble or reason to ask many questions. Living on the Gulf Coast Hurricanes have chased me from Florida to Alabama and now live in Ocean Springs Missippi. I bought a Boston Whaler Around 10 Years ago from a guy in Destin Florida and it has been sitting in Fairhope Al at a friends Junkyard until I decided to rescue it a couple of weeks ago. I have plans to fix it up again but over the years had all my original paperwork destroyed and could use some help Identifying what exactly I have. I have taken many pictures and believe I can get the Hul ID Somehow, so Far a few phone calls to Florida Has not proven helpful? I am hoping someone here had been through a similar situation and could provide some advice? Thanks in advance Now sure of the Year of the Boat? I have pictures to share but it looks like the serial number tag is broken, Is there a second location? Looks like My photos are too big I will figure this out and try to post photos later but this is what I have so far ; Metal Plate on outside Transom 3662M84D ; Under the Metal Plate a broken plastic tag EW-140 ?????? ; Stenciled inside of the transom 2C8998 ; Manufacture Plate inside 13'4" Sport Boston Whaler INC Rockland, Mass Edited by BartWhaler on 03/18/19 - 9:09 PM

Lots of information on this site about de-coding Boston Whalers Stencil and HIN's. I don't know what the "EW-140" plastic tag could be. Boston Whaler changed their HIN numbering scheme shortly after your boat was made so maybe they were trying something new that didn't work so they put the metal tag over the plastic one? My 1986 15' SS has a metal HIN tag inside the bow locker in addition to the transom but I don't know if they installed duplicate HIN tags for the 1984 13' models. Sorted member information around your same manufactured time for 13' hulls: 13  1982  2C6429  BWCJ1268M82H  13  1982  2C6853  BWCJ1794M82K  13  1982  2C6860  BWCJ1745M82K  13  1982  2C7130  BWCJ0115M82L  13  1983  2C7256  BWCE0219M83B  13  1983  2C7699  BWCJ2304M83F  13  1983  2C8227  BWCJ29240583  13  1983  2C8446  BWCJ30440683  13  1984  2C9002  BWCK3679M84D  13  1984  2C9821  BWCK1407M84i  13  1985  2E0311  BWCK2730J485  13  1985  2E0530  BWCK2605i485  13  1985  2E0553  BWCK2614i485  13  1985  2E0787  BWCK2936K485  13  1985  2E1537  BWCK3421D585  13  1986  2E1997  BWCL1456K586  13  1987  2E2173  BWCL2403F687

Fun to operate and to work on, its a labor of love. Just retired, moving to N.C. and hope to establish some Whaler friends as we did years ago in Corpus Christi tx. Been gone along time from being active on Whaler Central for various personal reasons, but back and hope to get in the groove again! Duf

Sometimes I have trouble with the technical side of the forum but I will eventually get the hang of it and be able to post up some pictures and share some more information, thanks for reaching out!
