Find My Boat

Hey guys,

I have purchased a boat and I’m wanting to find out some information on it that I can’t find and thought someone on here may be able to help me. I’m a first time boat owner.
HIN AU-WWA195007CN7

 

Welcome to the Forum Ellie.

Could you provide some more information about the boat please?
For example length and type (eg motor or sail boat?) - and if you can post a photo or two of it, then somebody might recognise it.

I googled Deniliquin, and I see that it is a town in New South Wales. And the AU on your HIN suggests that the boat was built in Australia.
Are you sure that the last digit is just 7, and not 07?
If 07, then it would have been built in 2007.
Or maybe the 07 in front of the CN is the build year, but this would not be the usual convention.

 

"WWA" stands for waterways authority (of New South Wales), you could try ringing them, this is a case where a picture or two would help.

19500 Serial number only the builder knows what this means
7CN7: 7C is a month and year of manufacture. N7 is the model year But the last four don't match Australia's code for HINs. C is October if was built before 1984. After 84 its March. There is no N in their system. So, hard to say could be 77, 87, 97 , 2007
see HIN (Hull Identification Number) | Personal Property Securities Register https://www.ppsr.gov.au/glossary/hin-hull-identification-number#:~:text=Most%20Australian%20boats%20will%20have,number%20and%20date%20of%20manufacture.

Do what MR E said.

A correction, The N in the last two numbers is the Boat Code Provider, that is someone who is an agent. see the brochure at https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/marine/MAC-B-HINsAndBoatCode.pdf

"People wanting to obtain or verify a HIN will need to contact a Department approved agent, known a BoatCode Provider (usually marine dealerships or suppliers). BoatCode Providers are located throughout the State and can: • verify a HIN on a new vessel; • attach or verify a HIN before a vessel is sold; • attach or verify a HIN before ownership of a vessel is transferred. A full list of BoatCode Providers is available from the Department’s website: www.transport.wa.gov.au/ imarine/boatcode-and-hin.asp or by telephoning 13 11 56. Fees will apply."

I tried that link and it didn't work, but then my internet connection is really wonky.

 

According to https://seaworthyinspections.com.au/how-to-check-hin-ppsr/ the WWA means the manufacturer is unknown or no longer in business and the HIN was re-issued. I think posting some pictures and details may be your best bet.
