How a THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example EJA45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | EJA | Identifies THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY'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. |
| 11–12 | Model year | 24 | The boat’s model year. |

THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY HIN FAQ
What does a THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "EJA" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY hulls (1990–1994) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY still in business?
USCG records list THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY as out of business since 1994. 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 THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY hulls (1990–1994) 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 THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY 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 "EJA" MIC the same as a THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY serial number?
No. "EJA" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY'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 THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY 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 THE JAGUAR BOAT COMPANY records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
