DOVER PT SEA CHARTERS HIN FAQ
What does a DOVER PT SEA CHARTERS HIN look like?

USCG records list DOVER PT SEA CHARTERS as out of business since 2001. 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.
