Description

We've compressed and optimized the complete US Coast Guard's boat manufacturer database of over 16,000 boat builders, and over 30,000 brands to fit on your iOS device, so you can have lightning fast results wherever you are, with NO Internet access needed!
Important HIN Search features include:
• Decoding of US 12 digit and 14/15 digit HINs
• Detection of suspicious or possibly altered HINs - an important first step to make sure a boat is not stolen!
• Boat manufacturer and build date information.
• Print, copy or share your results.
• Searching for manufacturers by their company or brand names
• No Internet access needed, so you can use this app no matter where you are.
• Favorites List, including your own personal notes.
• Share/Print/Save results as an Image.
• Developed by someone who knows and understands boats.
Nearly all boats (including fishing boats, power boats, sail boats, jet skis, kayaks, and canoes) imported or built in the US since 1972 are required to have a HIN by the federal government. The HIN will include when the boat was built, and by who. With the included Manufacturer database, HIN Search can also tell you a little bit about the builder, such as if they are still in business, their address, and sometimes even a website.
What this app DOES NOT do:
• Retrieve boat model information other than year. This information is NOT encoded universally in the HIN. If the boat manufacturer is still in business, please contact them directly with your HIN.
• Tell you if the boat is stolen. We can tell you if the boat HIN looks suspicious and warrants a closer look, but that's it.
• Decode boat identification numbers for boat built before 1972.
• Retrieve boat's past or current owners or sale information. Please contact your local vehicle registration authority.
Please don't leave a negative review with regards to what is clearly stated above!
This app only decodes HINs for boats which were built or imported legally in the USA since 1972. Some older (1970s) boat manufacturers "in business" dates may be incorrect. The USCG records are sometimes inaccurate.
This is a great tool for both marine professionals and boat shoppers!
No limits on number of HINs you can decode, or manufacturers you can look up.
No hidden or extra fees. Buy once, use forever.
Ad free, and will relieve you of scratching your head wondering, "Who made that boat?"

I purchased this app. for my iPhone last year, when I was in the process of buying a boat. It seemed to work good, as a search of the HIN I entered returned the former owner’s name. I completed the title transfer in WA. state before the end of July, 2020. For kicks, I searched my HIN today, over a year later. It still lists the former owner’s name! The app. may be good, but the author is not pulling updated data to reflect transfers in ownership. For that reason, I deduct two stars, giving it a “meh” rating. ================================ 2022-01-16: This is a reply to a recently entered developer reply. You wrote: “I am not sure exactly what this review is referring to. HINSearch does NOT provide any boat ownership or registration info.” Run a search for HIN BL1G54CKB787. Scroll towards the bottom of the page, where you will see the following: “Owner/Contact Name: Keith Mitchell Phone: 5078255851” How can you claim that HINSearch does NOT provide any boat ownership or registration info? Hint: I am the legal owner, since July 20, 2020, but my name is NOT Keith Mitchell. Perhaps Keith was a first owner? I don’t know. If this is a situation where you are pulling stale information from a state database, perhaps it is best to not show it.

This app is a robbery. Information it provides is free online. Please issue refund

No model info😞

Bought this app expecting to decode HIN’s and find out model of boat, not just manufacturer information. That is useful, but really want model ID.

No new info

This app did nothing for me. Told me no new info that I could have just googled. Waste of money.

Great app

Would be great if you could print the screen read out

Doesn’t provide anymore than you can find on the free web.

Shame on them for praying on users at 4.99 just to tell the manufacturers name and business info. That’s why the web was created to begin with. No model or make or even build info. Not worth the money.

No info

I just inherited a boat from my grandfather, I have the HIN directly from the boat but can’t get any information. Disappointing.

This app does not show you the present owner. It only shows who built it. So this is basically useless....I wish I could get my money back

Waste

I can't believe I paid for this app. It only told me the manufacturer of my boat which I already knew. The reviews were good so I downloaded it. I instantly regret it. This app should be free
