OT..... boat question

I got a boat from my neighbor. All we know is its a terry boat. I can't find a vin anywhere. Does anybody have a terry boat? Or had one that can tell me where the vin is?

The Vin should be on the rear stbd on the outside. Should be 3-4 letters followed by some numbers

The vin will be on the registration info. So if you can look up the registration numbers the vin no will be with that info.

Your states marine board will have all the info, as they issued numbers to the boat.
Hull ID numbers are usually near or on the specifications and BIA capacity plate.

Depending on the year of the boat, it may not have a hull number. Boats built before November 1st 1972 weren't required to have a hull identification number.

Well, there's a 10 in 12 chance you don't have an HID then. LOL! I ran into the same thing with registering a boat inTN several years ago. All I needed was a bill of sale from the seller and the amount I bought it for to pax the taxes. My registration didn't even tell what year the boat was!
