OZrevhead Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Hey fisho's, I bought a tinnie last December and now I want to upgrade so it's for sale but this leads me to identifying the hull. It is unbranded (previous owner had it blasted and painted), it has no build plate but has a HIN. It is registered as unknown manufacturer, O runabout. Does anyone know what brand and maybe model it might be? It's registered as 4.4m if that helps. I would love to know what it can legally carry (people and engine rating). Any help would be great.

kingie chaser Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Looks like a pretty newish boat not to have a HIN or ABP. Boats have been required to have a ABP since 2006 & HIN since 2001, of course if was pre that time& it didnt have a HIN from the 1st owner then to get it transfered now it needs to have one fitted! Not sure if its something you need to do prior to selling or up to the buyer post sale, but you will need to check on that with one of these guy's or the RMS https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/maritime/registration/boatcode/boatcode-agents.html Sorry no idea, anything in the bow under the top plate or under the rear stern transom support?

noelm Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Looks a bit early Stacer like, but I can remember any Stacer model having that little spray deflector on the front chine, some early Savage did have it, but it doesn't look like a Savage to me. There was a lot of builders pop up for short periods of time back around the mid 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZrevhead Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) @ kingie chaser - you misread, it has a HIN but no build plate The motor and trailer are dated 2003 but I wouldn't be surprised if the hull is a bit older. Thanks boys, hopefully someone see it and go yep I know what that is 😄 Edited August 30, 2020 by OZrevhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Woops, my bad. That makes it way easier then. The 1st 3 letters of the HIN should be the manufacturer code I believe. https://www.ppsr.gov.au/glossary/hin-hull-identification-number Hope that helps 😁 Edited August 30, 2020 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the HIN you can find the answers to your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Not always, the info has to be known when the HIN was done, if it was done years after the boat was made, (and lots were, because it was only necessary to sell the boat at the time) lots of info is just "made up" to suit.

True, I guess usually someone has at least an old rego certicicate. My old tinny didnt have a HIN & hadnt been registered in about 15 years but when I transfered I had the old rego papers with make/model & would sort of expect when buying a boat the seller would have it. My boat was my fathers anyway so knew all about it & still had the manifactureres plate on it. Bit of a worry if a HIN is put on & there's no rego papers but then again there are some pretty old boats out there that have been messed with/painted & who knows what happens to the HIN if there was one??

OZrevhead Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) OK cool, manufacturer code is WWA so what does that mean? Last digits are JY7 so what is that? 😄 Edited August 30, 2020 by OZrevhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZrevhead Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ok cool, looks like WWA is unknown manufacturer, which aligns with what it says on the rego papers. Back to you guys, anyone know what my hull is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Ok, send us through a picture of your HIN & I will have a dig. It can take hours to search through leads on any available info! So no other markings other than this HIN? No guarantees but I am a half decent internet searcher/investigator given enough time. Otherwise have a nice life 😅 Edited August 30, 2020 by kingie chaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I spent 2 hours doing research, the HIN is generic with no MFCR code. I tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
