SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL HIN FAQ
What does a SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "RXX" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL hulls (1989–1991) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL still in business?
USCG records list SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL as out of business since 1991. 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 SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. SOUTHERN MARINE AND SAIL hulls (1989–1991) 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.
