90 Baja 24 Sport
 

I just bought a 90 24 sport from NJ, I live in FLorida. I had a friend handle all of the paperwork since he lived close to the boat in NJ. I got stopped yesterday for a boat safety check and discovered the HIN was not on the transon! I realize I should have checked this before I bought it, but I did not. According to the sheriff there is a second HIN hidden somewhere on the boat? Does anyone know where this is located? I dont doubt the credibility of the man I bought it from but I have to have it verified by the sheriff here or the boat will get confiscated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave,

I sent you a PM where to look, but I will not post the answer. Anyone else that knows this information should send PM's also. Not saying there are any bad guys reading OSO, but you never know?

XT:cool:

PM me where to look on mine, mine is still on the transom but haven't come across the alternate location yet.

Found It !
 

After speaking to both Lane and Dave @ XT I still was not able to locate the second HIN. Out of frustration, thinking that they may have put body filler over it when the boat was painted, I stabbed the area on the transom with a screwdriver and it cracked slightly. After poking it with the tip of a knife a piece of foli tape peeled off! They must have covered it to paint it and never removed tape. It sat covered for the last 4 years! I appreciate all of the help from XT!
Thanks,
Dave
