I was filling out my boat information page and not sure I should use this number or not. Thanks. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0wpsV...P9Soxshnjg Edited by Kardar2 on 11/14/21 - 11:44 AM

Boston Whaler HIN plates did not start until late 1972 and they all used BWC as the starting 3 letters. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=103 Before that, Boston Whaler used just the Stencil number in the bow locker and transom after that. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...icle_id=61 Enjoy your new project and welcome to Whaler Central.
