About the USCG HIN format

Fiberglass Shoppe (Fibercrater LTD) is registered with the US Coast Guard and stamps a standard 12-character Hull Identification Number on every vessel produced for the US market. The format breaks down as:

YWS NNNNN M Y YY
└┬┘ └──┬──┘ │ │ └┬┘
 │    │     │ │  └─ Model year (last two digits)
 │    │     │ └──── Production year (last digit, 1972 standard)
