What does a RON'S MARINE REPAIR INC. HIN look like?

USCG records list RON'S MARINE REPAIR INC. as out of business since 2003. 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.
