A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example CJJ45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | CJJ | Identifies PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA), assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA)'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. |

PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA) HIN FAQ

Where is the HIN on a PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA) 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 "CJJ" MIC the same as a PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA) serial number?
No. "CJJ" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA). The hull serial number is characters 4–8: PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA)'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 PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA) 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 PHOENIX BASS BOATS (DBA) records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
