Actually, I was able to find it on the JD Power site for free. I did not know that they dealt with boats, although I had to look up the boat by make, model and year, rather than the HIN. Thanks for the suggestion.You can try loweboats.com...they used to have their old catalogs online...if its actually one of theirs...
another option is to use one of the HIN lookup services (like CARFAX but for boats)...given the age (1998) and it's size, probably isn't much available...
