Every recreational boat has a Hull Identification Number (HIN), but did you know there may be more than one place to find it? In this Trawler Buying Tip, Jeff Merrill explains where to look for the HIN on the transom and why boats also have a second, hidden identification number. He even knows where the hidden HIN is aboard this Nordhavn 47…but that one is staying hidden! Knowing where to find and verify a boat’s HIN is an important part of identifying a vessel and reviewing its documentation.

A backdown test can tell you a lot about what’s happening in the engine room. In this Trawler Buying Tip, Jeff Merrill explains how shifting from forward to neutral to reverse at very low speed can help evaluate the transmission and engine mounts. With a qualified person observing in the engine room, you can watch how the engine moves under load and look for signs that the mounts may need attention. It’s another useful check to consider when evaluating a trawler or conducting a sea trial. Follow JMYS for more practical Trawler Buying Tips from Certified Professional Yacht Broker Jeff Merrill.
