How a UNITED STATES YACHT CORP HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example USX45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | USX | Identifies UNITED STATES YACHT CORP, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | UNITED STATES YACHT CORP's own production number for the specific hull (the letters I, O, Q are never used). |
| 9 | Certification month | D | Month built — A=January … L=December (D = April). |
| 10 | Certification year | 4 | Last digit of the certification year. |
| 11–12 | Model year | 24 | The boat’s model year. |

UNITED STATES YACHT CORP HIN FAQ
What does a UNITED STATES YACHT CORP HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "USX" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to UNITED STATES YACHT CORP — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. UNITED STATES YACHT CORP hulls (1992–present) all use the current HIN format: a month letter (A=January…L=December), a certification-year digit, then two model-year digits.
Is UNITED STATES YACHT CORP still in business?
USCG records list UNITED STATES YACHT CORP of TAMPA, FL in the MIC database (registered 1992).
How do I decode the year on a UNITED STATES YACHT CORP HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. UNITED STATES YACHT CORP hulls (1992–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 UNITED STATES YACHT CORP 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 "USX" MIC the same as a UNITED STATES YACHT CORP serial number?
No. "USX" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies UNITED STATES YACHT CORP. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: UNITED STATES YACHT CORP'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 UNITED STATES YACHT CORP 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 UNITED STATES YACHT CORP records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
