How a OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example RXD45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | RXD | Identifies OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY's own production number for the specific hull (the letters I, O, Q are never used). |
| 9 | Certification month | D | Month built — A=January … L=December (D = April). |
| 10 | Certification year | 4 | Last digit of the certification year. |
| 11–12 | Model year | 24 | The boat’s model year. |

OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY HIN FAQ
What does a OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "RXD" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY built hulls across both HIN eras (1975–1992): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three.
Is OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY still in business?
USCG records list OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY as out of business since 1992. 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 OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY built hulls across both HIN eras (1975–1992): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY 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 "RXD" MIC the same as a OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY serial number?
No. "RXD" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY'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 OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY 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 OCEAN STATE MARINE RWY records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
