MIke -

The Hull Ident. No. should be on the outer upper right transom (looks like it's under the boarding ladder) - that'll give the Mfr ID Code (1st 3 letters) and mo/yr (last 3 numbers/letter).

regards,

Terry

First, I apologize for my provincialism - I assume everyone and his boat lives in the US. :blush:

Oz may have very different regulations about these things.
However, I suspect you're correct about the prefix, and if that's a US-made boat, here's the best info I found:

WWA = WHITEWATER MANUFACTURING INC, 127 MAIN ST, MOUNTAIN HOME AR.

Would've been built in 2006.

Their boats may be marketed by/as Mountain Home Boat Company, not sure exactly what the connection is, as I know nothing about the brand.

Hope this helps and good luck w/your search for info.

Two other thoughts, Mike.

From the pic, that appears to be a metal plate attached to the transom.
U.S. HINs are normally molded into the 'glass.
OZ regulations research should reveal whether the same HIN is used w/AU prefix, import (or whatever) date suffix.
Point is, if not, a look under the tag (if legal) might reveal the original HIN.

Also, I'm wondering if that could possibly be xxxx75C06.
1975 might be a better fit.

regards,

Terry

Thanks Terry,the HIN plate which look legit is pop riveted to the transom,and there is nothing in the glass under neath.We have an MSB office where I live and they thought it was an import.I tracked down the Whitewater Co thru the Chamber of Commerce in Mountain lake the Co only ran from 1995 to 2005 and are now closed,it was definatley built before 95

Have just found out the HIN AU-WWA-0195515C06 was issued in OZ to this boat in 2006,which is going to make it harder to find the make
Thank to you all for your help
