GENERAL INFORMATION
Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of
numerically identifying vessels by using a hull identification number or
“HIN.” This number identifies your Regal boat model, hull number,
month and year of manufacture.
The HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters. Normally the
HIN is located on the transom above the swim platform or can be
found on the aft hullside near the rub rail.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the HIN for future
reference. It can be especially useful when ordering parts from your
Regal dealer. A second HIN number is found in a hidden location. This
second HIN is useful to authorities if for example the boat is stolen
and the original transom HIN is modified or eliminated.
Vessel Information Sheet
It is recommended that you fill out the information on the following
page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel. Make a copy of the
data for safe keeping at home.
Vessel Float Plan
Fill out the float plan on the following page before departing. Leave
it with a responsible person who will notify the United States Coast
Guard or local law enforcement authorities if you do not return as
planned. If you change your plans be sure to notify this person. Make
copies of the float plan and use one each time you go boating. This will
help people know where to find you should you not return on schedule.
Do not file the float plan with the United States Coast Guard.
