How to Read a Starcraft Marine Hull Identification Number

If you own or are looking to purchase a Starcraft Marine boat, the 12-character HIN stamped on the transom contains key manufacturing details. Every genuine hull built by Starcraft Marine begins with the letters STR. Here is how each section breaks down:

  • Characters 1–3 (STR): Identifies Starcraft Marine 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 STR12345D424, the boat was manufactured by Starcraft Marine (STR) 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.
