HINs are generally 12 characters long, however mine is only 8 long. Is this normal?
During times of model year change-over or slow inventory turn-over the factory would delay adding the last few digits. Sometimes they were added at the time of shipping and were possibly missed.
I assume you have something like CCMC2222? (CCMC = Coast Catamaran Manufacture and then a 4 digit serial number?)
The next would be a letter related to the month of manufacture and then the 3 digits representing year of manufacture and model year.
