ANCHOR GARAGE INC HIN FAQ
What does a ANCHOR GARAGE INC HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "AGK" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to ANCHOR GARAGE INC — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total.

Is ANCHOR GARAGE INC still in business?
USCG records list ANCHOR GARAGE INC as out of business since 1976. That's common for older hulls — the HIN still decodes normally, and the out-of-business date helps date the boat and guides parts-hunting toward salvage and owner groups rather than a dealer network.
How do I decode the year on a ANCHOR GARAGE INC HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.
