How a GULL MANUFACTURING INC HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example GMX45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | GMX | Identifies GULL MANUFACTURING INC, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | GULL MANUFACTURING INC'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. |

GULL MANUFACTURING INC HIN FAQ
What does a GULL MANUFACTURING INC HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "GMX" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to GULL MANUFACTURING INC — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. GULL MANUFACTURING INC hulls (1995–present) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is GULL MANUFACTURING INC still in business?
USCG records list GULL MANUFACTURING INC of Wyoming, MN in the MIC database (registered 1995), associated with Palm Beach Weeres.
How do I decode the year on a GULL MANUFACTURING INC HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. GULL MANUFACTURING INC hulls (1995–present) 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 GULL MANUFACTURING INC 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 "GMX" MIC the same as a GULL MANUFACTURING INC serial number?
No. "GMX" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies GULL MANUFACTURING INC. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: GULL MANUFACTURING INC'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 GULL MANUFACTURING INC 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 GULL MANUFACTURING INC records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
