)<br /><br />Your hulls HIN LNZ200001D787 is one too many characters. Foreign manufactures can have additional digits precedes the required 12-digit HIN that identifies the country the hull was made in. LNZ is not foreign. I have never seen a country code used but always stated somewhere on the certification label.<br /><br />Im thinking you have an extra 0 in there. If we take one out, your hulls HIN reads: LNZ 20001 D7 87. LNZ is the MIC; it is serial number 20001 for that hull design; certified in D (4th month) April of the 7th year of the decade; and finally, the hull was made in 1987. Your hull could have been made anywhere from April to Dec 1987. I wouldnt be surprised if your hull was the first one of a model 2 or 20, hence the similar certification and manufacture date codes. The actual day of manufacture is never specified.<br /><br />LNZ is the manf code for L and S Manufacturing. They started making boats in July 1985 and are defunct as of Feb 1990.
