Default Re: HIN question

NJZ is a hull number issued by the agency who does titles in NJ. Florida does the same thing when they issue a title to a boat with no HIN it starts with FLZ. The last three numbers tell me it was titled in Jan. 1985.

A state issues a title for several reasons not limited to the boat was stolen and the original owner cannot be determined, it was built before 1972 and never had a hull number, the boat was involved in some kind of fraud and the original HIN was removed etc.
