PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. HIN FAQ

What does a PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. HIN look like?

It starts with the three characters "PRM" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. hulls (1990–2004) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.

Is PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. still in business?

USCG records list PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. as out of business since 2004. 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 PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. HIN?

On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. hulls (1990–2004) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.

Where is the HIN on a PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. 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 "PRM" MIC the same as a PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. serial number?

No. "PRM" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC.. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC.'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 PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. 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 PRESIDENT MARINE INT'L., INC. records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
