    Default Need hin help cant find a hin anywhere

    A buddy of mine is looking at a kachina force 26 thats in excellent shape only problem im having is there isnt any HIN number anywhere i can find. Its not on the back of the transom . Cant really call kachina anymore so any help would be greatly apreciated. Anyone know where they put the secondary HIN numbers.

    Probably a good idea to pass on a boat with no HIN on the right side of the transom.

    JMHO

    It has a very extensive paint job on it just trying to figure out if the no HIN is due to paint or other problems!!! ive seen quite a few boats that the painter was retarded and clean painted over the numbers

    Understood but no HIN on the transom is an issue. That's all I'm sayin' You might want to have your friend get the numbers off the engine and drive and check with LE to see if any issues.

    Non Factory drive too?

    Most secondary numbers are placed in a common place for LE use.

    Additional numbers are often hidden inside the boat by manufactures, start digging.

    LE should have no problem identifying this boat from secondary numbers.

    This sounds like a mess. Give me a call if you like, we can discuss 714/362-0711. Does it have a swim step add on covering the area??
