Buying a R27 - where’s the HIN

[ekino]

Hi. I’m in the process of a R27OB. Anyone know where we could find the Hull Identification Number (HIN) plate? We heard it was on the back starboard side but we couldn’t find it. Thanks!

Back of the boat, starboard side. It's easier to see with the boat out of the water, but it can be visibly seen with the boat in the water. The HIN is above the water line.

Here's a photo.

If the hull identification number lists the production number a given boat in a specific calendar year, it there a cumulative number anywhere which would indicate how many R27 OBs have been produced since the model was first introduced in 2020?

Those numbers are known only by Fluid Motion and as far as I know, they aren't published publicly. Channel Surfing is the 2nd boat manufactured for the model year 2021. I spoke with the owner who was told theirs was the "last" one produced for that year. There were 91 made that year.

Helpful! Thanks.
