TROPIC KEYS YACHT HIN FAQ
What does a TROPIC KEYS YACHT HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "TKD" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to TROPIC KEYS YACHT — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. TROPIC KEYS YACHT hulls (1993–2007) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is TROPIC KEYS YACHT still in business?
USCG records list TROPIC KEYS YACHT as out of business since 2007 (associated with TROPIC KEYS CHARTERS 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 TROPIC KEYS YACHT HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. TROPIC KEYS YACHT hulls (1993–2007) 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.
