How to Read a BRP (Sea-Doo) Hull Identification Number
If you own or are looking to purchase a BRP (Sea-Doo) boat, the 12-character HIN stamped on the transom contains key manufacturing details. Every genuine hull built by BRP (Sea-Doo) begins with the letters CEC. Here is how each section breaks down:
- Characters 1–3 (CEC): Identifies BRP (Sea-Doo) as the certified manufacturer registered with the US Coast Guard.
- Characters 4–8: Unique internal production serial number for that specific boat hull.
- Character 9: Production month code, where A represents January, B represents February, through L representing December.
- Character 10: The last digit of the year the boat was manufactured at the facility.
- Characters 11–12: The official certified model year of the vessel.
For instance, in the sample HIN CEC12345D424, the boat was manufactured by BRP (Sea-Doo) (CEC) in April for the 2024 model year. Always check that the model year decoded matches the boat title and registration card before completing a purchase.
