TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD HIN FAQ
What does a TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "TXM" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD hulls (1990–1991) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD still in business?
USCG records list TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD 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 TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. TRAX MARINE INT'L LTD hulls (1990–1991) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
