LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS HIN FAQ

What does a LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS HIN look like?

It starts with the three characters "SSR" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS hulls (2007–2008) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.

Is LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS still in business?

USCG records list LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS as out of business since 2008. 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 LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS HIN?

On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS hulls (2007–2008) 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.

Where is the HIN on a LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS 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 "SSR" MIC the same as a LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS serial number?

No. "SSR" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS'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 LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS 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 LAZY JAKE DRIFT BOATS records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
