| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP'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. |

DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP HIN FAQ
What does a DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "DLP" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP hulls (2013–present) 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.
Where is the HIN on a DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP 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 "DLP" MIC the same as a DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP serial number?
No. "DLP" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP'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 DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP 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 DANALEVI POWERBOATS CORP records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
