The HIN is like the VIN of a car usually located on the back right corner of the boat. The Vessell ID number is the #'s given by the Federal government to identify the registration.

It is always a good idea to do a check for title and lein on any thing purchased used. We have run into lots of people who have iether purchased a product used from someone not knowing that money is still owed. We do a lein check on all products now and it is amazing how many are unaware.
