CENTER POINT DESIGN INC HIN FAQ
What does a CENTER POINT DESIGN INC HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "QCE" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to CENTER POINT DESIGN INC — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. CENTER POINT DESIGN INC hulls (1992–2004) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is CENTER POINT DESIGN INC still in business?
USCG records list CENTER POINT DESIGN 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 CENTER POINT DESIGN INC HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. CENTER POINT DESIGN INC hulls (1992–2004) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
