CORRECT CRAFT Boat - Null Identification Number

HUll IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The hull identification number (or HIN)
is a requirement of the U.S. Coast Guard for boat
manufacturers. It
is a standardized numbering system that assigns a specific sequence
of numbers and letters to a specific boat,
Oust as on a car).
This number is molded into the hull. You
will find it on the upper right-hand side of the
transom just below the gunwale.
(See illustration for location.) It is not a bad idea to
make a record of this number and keep it
in a safe place away from the boat.
Hull Identification Number
Here
is a brief explanation to help you understand the information shown. Again, refer
to the illustration.
The first three digits are letters designating the manufacturer's code (CTC being Correct
Craft's code). The next five digits are the serial number (no two are alike). The following
digit
is a letter from "A" through "l" designating the month of manufacture, that is to say
"January" through "December".
The following will show the alphabetical codes that relate to this letter.
A
= January G = July
B
= February H = August
C
= March I = September
D
= April J = October
E
= May K = November
F
= June
l
= December
After this you will find three more numbers. The first of these represent the last digit of
the year of manufacture and the final two numbers state the MODEL year. (Should your
boat be built from September through December, then the final two numbers will show
a number one year higher than the year of manufacture.)
To sum,
in the example shown, the first three letters tell you that the boat was
manufactured by Correct Craft. Following that is a five-digit serial number. Next you
will
see that it was built in the month of June in 1990 and that it is a 1990 model year.
