WATERMARK SPORTS INC HIN FAQ
What does a WATERMARK SPORTS INC HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "DAQ" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to WATERMARK SPORTS INC — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. WATERMARK SPORTS INC hulls (1988–2005) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is WATERMARK SPORTS INC still in business?
USCG records list WATERMARK SPORTS INC as out of business since 2005 (associated with CONFLUENCE WATERSPORTS CO). 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 WATERMARK SPORTS INC HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. WATERMARK SPORTS INC hulls (1988–2005) 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.
