LEISURE LIFE LTD HIN FAQ
What does a LEISURE LIFE LTD HIN look like?

USCG records list LEISURE LIFE LTD as out of business since 2004 (associated with JOHNSON WORLDWIDE ASSOC INC).

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