FAQ:
-How often is the data updated?
The decoder uses mathematical code to figure out if the HIN is valid, has typos, the year, and formatting. As for the Make and website of the manufacturer, this is coming from the USCG as they maintain the official list of boat manufacturers.

-Do you have access to more data points?
Yes, reach out to us with your requests and we will work on it. If you are looking for other data points for the boat History, we have our boat history report available for purchase at boat-.com and an API for it as well. This one covers 70+ databases from the USCG, police theft, and private databases on the web. All can be searched within 30 seconds and one click.

-Do you have the boat Model series info?
Yes. We are working on adding more “model name” and currently have 23% of boats with exact model information. It is more difficult since it is not contained in the HIN so it cannot be decoded mathematically. Every boat HIN will contain information embedded in the HIN itself such as the year and make. But the HIN system does not include the model name in the same way that a VIN for a car does. Only NICB.org has such a database that they won’t share with anyone except law enforcement. We have to collect the data manually. In the API we can provide approximations for the model in case you need that. A VIN for a car can let you know the mode and trim of the car (eg. Corolla XE). But for boat HINs that was never part of the standard format created back in the 1980s.
With our decoder, you will get the full decoder info for all boats with the exception of that one field (model). It will only appear if it is available in our database (which is roughly 23 percent of boats). All will be decoded (some with and some without the model field). When it comes to accuracy of our model name info, we have 9000 searches per month but only 20 corrections per month.

-Do you have a VIN decoder for Cars and trucks?
Yes, it is 50$ per month for the vehicle VIN decoder.

-Do you have commercial pricing?
For individual developers and small websites, we have the API available on RapidAPI for 20/month.Itwillreturnthedecodedintoinjsonformatandthepricingis20/month. It will return the decoded into in json format and the pricing is 20 per month for low amounts of hits. If you plan to do more than 2000 hits per month, we can setup a separate API URL for you that would handle the load and work much faster for 100$ per month.

-Will the API return an error message if we pass an invalid HIN number as the input?
Yes, it will return json with indicator that HIN is not valid and possible reasons why (eg. Number one at position 9 should be letter i).
It will also let you know if this invalid HIN is in circulation (registered boat has an invalid HIN recorded at the State or USCG). This way you know that the HIN is invalid but it is a real boat. The owner should contact the DMV to fix the typo in the registration papers or title.

Example HIN you can test:
SERT8651B202 (valid)
SERT86518202 (invalid)

-Do have any example HINs to try?
Examples to try:
XYM34206M791 – not valid but in circulation
XYM34206M79i - valid model year format
FLZL7861A068 - not valid
LYT390211274 - valid straight year format
SERV5578B707 - valid current format
1LY03448D606 - bad MAKE with suggested typo correction.
FGB72855J001 – model name available

HINDecoder provides the Make, Year, Serial number, Model or approximations, MIC typo suggestions, format type of the hull identification number, invalid reason, company status, company address, company website, is imo number, is eni number, isstatereg number, is state issued. It then returns a json or html formatted output. Additional fields can be added on a custom request basis.
