I went through the same issues. The HIN was written on a white space in the hull, but the ink had faded out. I put a digital camera in the hull and took some pics of the tag and deciphered it the best I could with what was available. The ins. main concern would be that they are paying a claim on the proper boat.
The AHPC importer (they made my Boyer) is Robbie Daniel and Jill Nickerson /Fun in the Sun. They are at the Alter Cup right now supplying C2s for the event.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
