MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS HIN FAQ
What does a MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "OPE" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS hulls (2003–2007) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS still in business?
USCG records list MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS as out of business since 2007 (associated with MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS). 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 MISSOURI RIVER OUTFITTERS HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year.
