HIN and MIC

[Gordon]

Used to be a person could go online and look up a HIN (hull ID #) and find out the manufacturer of a boat. Apparently that is no more! Seems you now have to pay for that service. So can someone give me the MIC (first three letters of the HIN) for a Vega? Thx Gordon

Could be AUL.http://hindecoder.com/decoder-script.php?HIN=AUL30201F687

That would be "AMN". I did a search on " boat vin decoder " with plenty of results but that doesn't mean that they'll actually do what they say.Alan

The reason I asked was because of this boat on EBAY. It gives a HIN
that doesn't make sense, besides spelling the brand name wrong. There is
a pic of the HIN but it is hard to determine. Cheap Albin for someone on
the east coast.
