    Sorry, HIN= Hull number?
    Yes - Usually located (embossed) on the edge of the swim platform -- aft (rear) starboard (right) side of the hull. Make sure it matches what's on your paperwork.

    It's usually under the helm.

    You probably won't find one.

    Under the U.S. Coast Guard regs, a capacity plate is only required for boats less than 20 feet powered with an inboard, outboard, or stern drive engine manufactured after November 1, 1972, and must display a capacity plate defining the safe load limits. Since your boat is greater than 20 - no requirement for a capacity plate.

    Now, for a "certification" plate,  don't know what Rinker was doing in 1995, but NMMA/ABYC certification is voluntary. So you might not have one. If you do, it's usually in the helm area.

    Welcome @LuisMiranda. Do you mean that you can't find the location? Or is it missing and you need it for registration? If missing, it'll be tougher.

    My 1998 232cc had one. It was 8 people or 1750 lbs. Any 212 that I ever saw had one.

    It is only "required" by US regs for boats less than 20 feet. That doesn't mean a manufacturer can't voluntarily place one on a vessel. A lot of states require them in excess of federal regulations, so that could be why you see them on larger vessels.

    Just sayin' not legally required (federally) in @LuisMiranda's situation.

    @TonyG13 that assumes he's in the US. A plate is absolutely required in Canada and most of Europe. Most European countries also require a CE certification in order to register the vessel and legally operate it. Guess we'll have to see where he's from if he comes back.

    @LuisMiranda - Are you in - and the boat is used in - U.S. waters?

    If yes, then you can have a plate made. There are numerous on-line sources. Just beware you must supply accurate information. There are also on-line resources to tell you how to calculate the capacity of your specific boat to print out a proper plate.

    Here is a place that makes plates (decals)...

    https://www.replacementdecals.com/store/c/119-Create-Your-Own-Capacity-Decals.aspx

    As to the validity of whether you can have a homemade capacity plate, please refer to this from the US Coast Guard Auxiliary...

    Another thought: If in the US, have you taken a safe boating course from either the US Coast Guard Auxiliary or the US Power Squadrons? Both have a section in their courses regarding capacity limits and how to calculate them.
