CONDOR INC built hulls across both HIN eras (1984–2008): 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.

How a CONDOR INC HIN breaks down

CONDOR INC HIN FAQ

What does a CONDOR INC HIN look like?

It starts with the three characters "CZB" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to CONDOR INC — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. CONDOR INC built hulls across both HIN eras (1984–2008): 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 CONDOR INC still in business?

USCG records list CONDOR INC as out of business since 2008 (associated with ANZA MARINE GROUP). 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 CONDOR INC HIN?

On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. CONDOR INC built hulls across both HIN eras (1984–2008): 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 CONDOR INC 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 "CZB" MIC the same as a CONDOR INC serial number?

No. "CZB" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies CONDOR INC. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: CONDOR INC'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 CONDOR INC 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 CONDOR INC records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
