IMPORTANT
Your Intrepid Yacht is identified by a hull identification number (HIN) on the
right corner of the transom. This identifies the number of the hull and supplies the
government officials with additional information concerning the builder and the year of
manufacture. There is also a builder’s plate with the hull number located on the forward
hatchway trim. In addition, there are serial numbers on your boat’s engine (see the
engine manufacturer owner’s manual) and on some of the accessory equipment which
you may elect to have installed.
We recommend that your record these important numbers carefully and keep
copies of them at home and aboard (see “Owner’s Record” form). These numbers and an
accurate description of your property, in the event of theft, could be essential to their
recovery.
Marking an inconspicuous place such as the inside of a locker, underside of a
door or drawer, or the base of the mast with your initials, social security number, or other
unique “brand” may also aid in the prompt identification of your property, should the
need to do so ever arise.
