New Federal title requirement! Strange

I bought my Hardin trawler in July. At the time it was a documented boat. We had that changed to being state titled in Washington.
When I got the new tittle and registration, the registration numbers were weird.
It was WN$ followed by 5 numbers. Both on the registration and tittle.
Yesterday went to the DMV to get this fixed, should be WN 1111 XX.
So they could fix this fine but now comes the federal regulation. All boats must now have a 12 digit HIN mine was only 11. So they assigned me a new HIN number. New tittle coming. Now I must find away to put a new permanent HIN on my hull.
I thought we are never to change a HIN number. Very strange.
