OK smart people
 

What does this mean?? HIN 23123-OSIC72.

I need someone to let me know what the HIN means. Mine is simple because it starts with SEC....

What boat is it on Don?
You know a little more detail....

Yeah, my brother has come back over to the "dark side"!! After a few months of looking, he just bought a '72 I/O which he's going to completely rebuild into a bracketed OB, it really needs a bunch of rebuilding, not just a little bit a lot. He's going to sell his 1999 29' CC with cabin SeaVee which is way beyond perfect. So if you know anyone looking for a "mac daddy" SeaVee let me know.

If you see "billsseacraft" on the site, fair warning, it's my bother coming back to the SC family 15 years after selling his Secptre.

Ok, Now it makes sense......
Till you see the state assigned HIN for the Ole' 1970 NoBoner..:eek:

As follow: FLZD98790770-1287

I know goofy, right..:rolleyes:

Goofy?

Hin
 

i would venture to say "Hull Identification Number"

Yeah Ken my HIN is simple and makes sense to me. SEC3F0070778. Seacraft, 23', superfish model, hull #7, July of 1978. You are correct, yours is goofy.

I would say you're right, for numbers on the registration (at least for Florida)
. Hin would be the same as vin (vehicle identification number for vehicles)
Manufacturer code HIN would be Hustler Industries. The FLZ I read that
is the code for Florida homemade boats.

Very cool, Don! Sounds like a resurgence with Bill getting back in the game! What's the power plant he is leaning toward? Here is the old ID list we all have stored on a hard drive somewhere:

Ken,

In case you were wondering. I was told the reason why some HIN start with FLZ is due to original HIN not visible or can't be found, assigned to a vessel that was classified as homemade a boat made by a manufacturer prior to Nov 1, 1972

Note the SCI and early 87-90 Slacker HIN start with SIC.
The early slackers were built in Sarasota at the SCI plant with a familiar crew.
