ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP HIN FAQ
What does a ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "EMY" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP hulls (1972–1979) predate the current HIN format — expect the legacy straight-year (MMYY) or model-year (M + year + month letter) date codes used 1972–1984.
Is ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP still in business?
USCG records list ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP as out of business since 1979. 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 ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. ED MYER'S BOAT SHOP hulls (1972–1979) predate the current HIN format — expect the legacy straight-year (MMYY) or model-year (M + year + month letter) date codes used 1972–1984. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
