DAVID NUTT HIN FAQ
What does a DAVID NUTT HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "NUT" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to DAVID NUTT — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. DAVID NUTT hulls (1985–2000) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is DAVID NUTT still in business?
USCG records list DAVID NUTT as out of business since 2000. 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 DAVID NUTT HIN?
