MUDDY RIVER LANDING HIN FAQ
What does a MUDDY RIVER LANDING HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "MRL" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to MUDDY RIVER LANDING — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. MUDDY RIVER LANDING hulls (1993–2002) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is MUDDY RIVER LANDING still in business?
USCG records list MUDDY RIVER LANDING as out of business since 2002. 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 MUDDY RIVER LANDING HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. MUDDY RIVER LANDING hulls (1993–2002) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
