What does a GALLEY MASTER BOATS HIN look like?

It starts with the three characters "EVY" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to GALLEY MASTER BOATS — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. GALLEY MASTER BOATS hulls (1997–2004) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.

USCG records list GALLEY MASTER BOATS as out of business since 2004. 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 GALLEY MASTER BOATS HIN?

On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.
