What does a JOLLY BOATS LLC HIN look like?

USCG records list JOLLY BOATS LLC as out of business since 2019. 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 JOLLY BOATS LLC HIN?
