SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE HIN FAQ
What does a SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "IEQ" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE hulls (2004–2006) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE still in business?
USCG records list SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE as out of business since 2006. 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 SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. SILVER KING CUSTOM MARINE hulls (2004–2006) 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.
