Looking for 1994 nautica rib models

[GARYSHORT]

i just picked up a 1994 Nautica RIB. I have the HIN/VIN, but not sure of the model #. Does anyone have a decoder or website where I can input the HIN/VIN and find out what the model # and name is for that boat?

You should have a capacity plate on the boat. That will have all of that info on it. They are usually found on the cockpit area of the boat. If not post some pics of it. There is not a worldwide data base to decode boat vin numbers.

Nautica is PTJ.............my serial is boat length 19xxx....F for month of manufacture mine june ......then year of manufacture mine 10 =shown 0....then model year Mine 11.......
hence my Hin looks as follows PTJ 19xxxF011...........plates are located right side of engine on transom on outside and then inside in seating area (behind knees if sitting on rear bench
