Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: HIN Replacement for 1981 13'

Hi I have a 1981 13' that needs a new HIN. Mine was holding on by one rivet so I pulled it off so I would not loose it. It's hard to read and corroded but I was able to get a good photo of it. Its is 3076 81H. So I need Magic Brush to stamp a new one.

First question: Should I get the same digits printed out or get the new plate to match the NJ Registration.

Next question: The NJ reg lists the boat as a 1978. So somewhere along the way it was changed. How big a deal is this. Should I try and get it switched to 1981.

Next question: How do I re-rivet it onto the transom. Any tips will be appreciated.
Thanks

I would stay with the Boston Whaler HIN.

The full HIN should be:
BWCH3076M81H

2C????
