How a COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example CPD45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | CPD | Identifies COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON'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. |

COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON HIN FAQ
What does a COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "CPD" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON hulls (2016–present) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON still in business?
USCG records list COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON of RUSSELLS POINT, OH in the MIC database (registered 2016), associated with MOORE & MILLER ASSOCIATES, IN.
How do I decode the year on a COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.

Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON 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 "CPD" MIC the same as a COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON serial number?
No. "CPD" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON'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 COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON 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 COASTAL CRUISERS PONTOON records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
