FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR HIN FAQ
What does a FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "FNR" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR hulls (1986–2003) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR still in business?
USCG records list FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR as out of business since 2003. 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 FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. FRONT RUNNER PERFORMANCE MAR hulls (1986–2003) 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.
