How a LASER BOATS OF TEXAS HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example CJM45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | CJM | Identifies LASER BOATS OF TEXAS, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | LASER BOATS OF TEXAS'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. |

LASER BOATS OF TEXAS HIN FAQ
What does a LASER BOATS OF TEXAS HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "CJM" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to LASER BOATS OF TEXAS — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. LASER BOATS OF TEXAS built hulls across both HIN eras (1978–2009): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three.
Is LASER BOATS OF TEXAS still in business?
USCG records list LASER BOATS OF TEXAS as out of business since 2009 (associated with WALRAY INC). 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 LASER BOATS OF TEXAS HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. LASER BOATS OF TEXAS built hulls across both HIN eras (1978–2009): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a LASER BOATS OF TEXAS 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 "CJM" MIC the same as a LASER BOATS OF TEXAS serial number?
No. "CJM" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies LASER BOATS OF TEXAS. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: LASER BOATS OF TEXAS'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 LASER BOATS OF TEXAS 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 LASER BOATS OF TEXAS records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
