INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ HIN FAQ
What does a INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "NTN" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ hulls (1973–1982) predate the current HIN format — expect the legacy straight-year (MMYY) or model-year (M + year + month letter) date codes used 1972–1984.
Is INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ still in business?
USCG records list INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ as out of business since 1982. 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 INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ hulls (1973–1982) predate the current HIN format — expect the legacy straight-year (MMYY) or model-year (M + year + month letter) date codes used 1972–1984. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ boat?
On the outside upper-starboard (right) corner of the transom, within two inches of the top — required by 33 CFR 181.29. Since August 1984 an identical duplicate HIN is also molded into an unexposed interior location as an anti-theft measure. Both should match the title, registration, and insurance card exactly.
Is the "NTN" MIC the same as a INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ serial number?
No. "NTN" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ's own production number for that specific boat (the letters I, O, and Q are never used). The full 12-character HIN combines the MIC, the serial, and the date code.
Can a INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ HIN tell me the exact model?
Not on its own. A HIN encodes the builder, hull serial, certification month/year, and model year — not the model name or length. Match the decoded year and serial against INTERNATIONAL 19 OF NJ records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
