HIGH COUNTRY DVLP CORP HIN FAQ
What does a HIGH COUNTRY DVLP CORP HIN look like?

Is HIGH COUNTRY DVLP CORP still in business?
USCG records list HIGH COUNTRY DVLP CORP 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 HIGH COUNTRY DVLP CORP HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.
