NAVARRE BOAT MFG CO HIN FAQ
What does a NAVARRE BOAT MFG CO HIN look like?

Is NAVARRE BOAT MFG CO still in business?
USCG records list NAVARRE BOAT MFG CO as out of business since 1978. 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.
