The best thing you can do is go on "The Donzi Registry" board and post the HIN and as much info as you can.
There are a few BoatFax type look ups but they will only give you the sales and damage history. Unfortunately the HIN doesn't give quite as much info as a car's VIN.
Breakdown of a HIN
The first three letters are the Manufacturer (DNA)
The next 5 are the serial number.
(Donzi uses 2 digits to signify the model and then 001,002,003, etc for production # that model.)
The last 4 are the date of certification.
By decoding my HIN, my boat was the 7th ZRC built and was certified in Feb. 2003.
When I ran the HIN through boat fax, it showed the hull was built in August 2002. (rigged in the fall and certified in Feb.)
Hope this helps.
