MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY HIN FAQ
What does a MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "SXY" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY hulls (1996–2005) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY still in business?
USCG records list MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY as out of business since 2005 (associated with SAILBOAT SHOP INC). 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 MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. MINI DINGHY BOAT COMPANY hulls (1996–2005) 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.
