WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION HIN FAQ
What does a WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "HJB" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION hulls (2002–2013) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION still in business?
USCG records list WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION as out of business since 2013 (associated with HELLGATE JET BOATS).

How do I decode the year on a WILLAMETTE JET BOAT EXCURSION HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.
