How a INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE HIN breaks down
A current-format (1984–present) Hull Identification Number is 12 characters. Using the example ZIV45678D424 (illustrative):
| Characters | Segment | In example | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Manufacturer (MIC) | ZIV | Identifies INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE, assigned by the US Coast Guard. |
| 4–8 | Hull serial number | 45678 | INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE'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. |

INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE HIN FAQ
What does a INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE HIN look like?
It starts with the three characters "ZIV" — the Manufacturer Identification Code the US Coast Guard assigned to INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE — followed by a 5-character hull serial and a 4-character date code, 12 characters total. INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE built hulls across both HIN eras (1977–present): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three.
Is INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE still in business?
USCG records list INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE of LASALLE, QC in the MIC database (registered 1977).
How do I decode the year on a INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE HIN?
On current-format HINs the last two characters are the model year and the 9th–10th encode the certification month and year. INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE built hulls across both HIN eras (1977–present): boats before August 1984 carry legacy straight-year or model-year date codes; later hulls use the current month-letter format. The decoder handles all three. Enter the full 12-character HIN above and the decoder works it out, including the legacy formats.
Where is the HIN on a INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE 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 "ZIV" MIC the same as a INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE serial number?
No. "ZIV" is the Manufacturer Identification Code — characters 1–3 of the HIN — that identifies INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE. The hull serial number is characters 4–8: INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE'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 INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE 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 INDUSTRIES VOGUE LIMITEE records, the title, or a marine survey to confirm the exact model and configuration.
