A Sears 1970 Hull Identification Number (HIN) is a unique 12-character code assigned to each boat manufactured by Sears, Roebuck and Co. in 1970. For instance, a Sears 1970 boat with the HIN “SRS12345J70” indicates that it was built by Sears (SRS), in 1970 (70), and is the 12345th boat produced that year (12345).
HINs are essential for identifying and registering boats, and they provide valuable information about a boat’s history and specifications. The HIN system was first introduced in the United States in 1972, and it has since become a standard practice for boat manufacturers worldwide.
