TORERO IMPORTS LLC HIN FAQ

What does a TORERO IMPORTS LLC HIN look like?

TORERO IMPORTS LLC hulls (2009–present) 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 TORERO IMPORTS LLC 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 "TRR" MIC the same as a TORERO IMPORTS LLC serial number?

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