I would think they are in the same spot on the newer boats as they were on the older boats, but maybe not. I know you said you checked, but starboard side of the transom is where mine is, and yours should be. Maybe an aftermarket swim platform or something is covering yours up?

So glad you found us P190....

I'm unfamiliar on the secondary location for the HIN on a 190. You may want to contact the world headquarters in Neodesha, KS. They may be able to help with that. (620) 325-2653

And welcome aboard mate.

I had a similar issue with mine. I figured a paint job wiped it out from a previous owner. In my state we have to have a pencil rubbing of the HIN for some reason. I ordered a plate off Amazon with the number etched in it and stuck it on the boat. Worked well enough for the paper pushers to give me a title.
