How a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example C0345678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | C03 | Identifies TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM's own production number for the specific hull (the letters I, O, Q are never used). |
| 9 | Certification month | D | Month built — A=January … L=December (D = April). |
| 10 | Certification year | 4 | Last digit of the certification year. |
| 11–12 | Model year | 24 | The boat’s model year. |

TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM HIN FAQ
What does a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "C03" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM hulls (2017–present) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM still in business?
USCG records list TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM of NEW ORLEANS, LA in the MIC database (registered 2017), associated with TEXTRON INC.
How do I decode the year on a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM hulls (2017–present) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM boat?
On the outside upper-starboard (right) corner of the transom, within two inches of the top — required by 33 CFR 181.29. Since August 1984 an identical duplicate HIN is also molded into an unexposed interior location as an anti-theft measure. Both should match the title, registration, and insurance card exactly.
Is the "C03" MIC the same as a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM serial number?
No. "C03" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM's own production number for that specific boat (the letters I, O, and Q are never used). The full 12-character HIN combines the MIC, the serial, and the date code.
Can a TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM HIN tell me the exact model?
Not on its own. A HIN encodes the builder, hull serial, certification month/year, and model year — not the model name or length. Match the decoded year and serial against TEXTRON SYSTEMS MARINE AND LAND SYSTEM records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
