Personal Watercraft Insurance, Protect Your Self from Thieves and Vandals Tip 2
Engraving Your Boat’s Hull
A large problem with boat thieves is that they quickly sell stolen vessels, sometimes chopping them up and selling off the parts. Therefore you may want to make sure that your boat, trailer, and accessories or electronics are identifiable by engraving your boat’s hull identification number (HIN) or your name somewhere that is not very noticeable. This way, if it is stolen, you have a way to prove without a doubt that it is your property. Do not forget to record your HIN somewhere for safekeeping (like with your boat insurance policy).
