Looking for 1994 nautica rib models

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.
