I've been trying to read everything I can find before the pre-purchase survey next week, and ran across a thread about hull numbers. It seems that some (most, all?) the Independence 31 boats have a slightly non-standard HIN, they don't start with ERY.
The boat we are looking at starts with ER1 (at least that is the number on info from the broker, I'll verify the actual hull number at the survey). In that HIN thread another member here mentioned his Independence 31 HIN started with ER2.
Is there something unique about the Independence 31 that caused the HIN to be different?
Will this present an issue should we want to USCG document the boat?
