Ok guys I got a new vessel. The paperwork doesn't say what make the boat is. Its a 18ft jetboat full stringer. I tried punching in the hull id number but nothing comes up...any help will be appreciated.

we need the first 3 letters, the last 2 numbers are the year
get blown or get blown away
There is no first 3 letters. That's all there is under the hull ID...the only other thing I fot is this...JRSFBRGL which is right under the Make on the paperwork.
A few pics might be of help.
its either a splash or the original paperwork was lost and it was registered under that name
get blown or get blown away

I'm picking up the boat on Saturday....I'll post some pics.
Jersey Marine Industries???
Got a hunch that you'll find the numbers (and letters) on the paper work possibly relate to some states DMV numbering system and not to the original HIN , if the number isn't inlaid on the right rear of the transom odds are its been re-registered and assigned new ##'s , in Cali for example a boat or trailer thats off the roles for a period of time or has no provative paper work it becomes SPCN (special construction) or.... the title get changed for other reasons ??? had a Hallet flat sometime back that said Zodiac on the titleOriginally Posted by Generallee
Pictures will tell the story the guys here are pretty good about Id'ing these boat from a "visual" Tom
Tom, if this were the case the number would be preceeded by the two letter state id followed by a "Z". For example, California issued HIN would start with "CFZ", Arizona would be "AZZ", Nevada "NVZ", etc. In addition, the make/builder/manufacturer would be identified as "California homebuilt", Arizona homebuilt, Nevada homebuilt, etc. It would not likely have the abbreviation of a company name(JRSFBRGL). Since the last two digits are "71", I would hazard a guess that that is the original number and it was built in 1971. Since the HIN ID system didn't come into full effect until, I believe, 1973, it may just be that the mfr did not include his ID in the number.

Looks to be a '71 so the manufacturer wasn't required to place the HIN on the hull. DMV paperwork is about as useless as it gets so I would look for something inside the hull..... capacity plate, rigger's markings, etc.
Thx for all the info guys. I guess I'll post some pics asap. The dmv paperwork is all legit and good to go, title/registration etc so I don't think I'll have a problem with that. I'll have the guys on here identify my boat as close as possible and on the dmv paperwork it does say 1971...
Craig,
If you're referring to the SPCN, that white 19' Tahiti I bought in 2001 or 02 had that designation as the Builder on the registration and on the pink slip. The boat did not have an HIN on the transom due to hull work and repaint. The boat was repossessed in 1998 but hadn't been registered since 1992 so it was out of the CA DMV system. The person at DMV said it would be a whole lot less expensive and a whole lot faster to just register it as Special Construction even though I had some original info on it.
I also had a Toyota pick-up bed trailer that had the same designation since it truly was a custom built deal.
I don't know if the laws have changed since that whole Boyd Coddington fraud stuff a few years ago though

The OP of this thread stated that the MFR identified on title was "JRSFBGRL"
not "SPCN". Had it been state issued, the ID# would have started with "CFZ"(for CA).
That Tahiti story sounds like a classic case of lazy DMV clerk, previous owner and repair person all contributing to a paperwork/title mess.
That would be a correct use of SPCN as it applies to road vehicles.
If I recall, Coddington(as well as other custom builders) were using out-of-state "title companies" to provide "original"(possibly bogus) titles primarily to skirt emissions regulations. This is not a new practice. A buddy of mine had a T-bucket kit car back in the 80's(we were pretty sure it was a "Bird" brand from the late 60's-early 70's) that was titled as a 1929 Ford sedan. Not sure why the builder bothered as there were no difficulties in registeriing kit cars back then.
