How to read HID #
 

Does anyone know how to read the HID on a 20' SC? Mine is SECF033M74A. I assume the first four letters are Seacraft. 033 may be the hull number. 74 is the year. If I am correct so far, what is the M before the year and the A after it? Thanks. Just curious!

It may be that you have a Master Angler, not sure. Is the top of the gunwale even with the rub rail? Or does the cap raise 3-4” above the rub rail? I’m not good at interpreting HIN (Hull Identification Number) but the wizards should chime in shortly.

Vezo, Part II

The top of gunwale is even with the rub rail. I think the "A" at the end is for the month. In this case, it would have been delivered in January.

"SEC" Is seacraft (potter year boats) the "F" Is for the model Super Fish, Master Angler hulls would start with "SECM".

Thank you for the information. If anyone has something that explains it, please chime in. I thought it would be similiar to a car's vin # where each letter or number reveals the car's blueprint.

Unfortunately, there are so many vehicles/vins that even the manufacturers can't keep up. I order my GM parts from Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Virginia and even my parts guy is asking what the vehicle is AFTER he has entered the vin on some occasions.

"SEC" = SeaCraft Inc (Potter 1969 thru 5/80, no HIN prior to '73)
"F" = Super Fish model cc
"0" = 20' hull (8=18', 0=20', 3=23')
"33" = should be the 33rd Super fish made in 1974
"M" = Month (Some models list the Month in #'s in this spot or it has a "M" and then the last letter would shows the month)
"74" = Year built 1974 (can be built in 74 and titled in 75)
"A" = I cant remember what the A is for?, this letter should decode the month

Other year manufacture prefixes (first 3 letters):


Moesly...1960-1969(70). (No HIN)
SEC = SeaCraft Inc (Potter 1969 thru 5/80, no HIN prior to '73)
CSY = Carribbean Sailing Yachts (1980-1982 23'& 27' SeaCrafts only)
SIC = SeaCraft Industries Corp (1980 thru 1987 other SeaCraft Models) (Potter on Board of Directors approx 1 year after sale)
TXY = Sarasota Marine Corp ('86-'88 csy Parent Co)
SIC = Tracker SeaCraft of Fla (1987 thru 1990) all models
SXC = Stern Craft Corp (1994 Silver King Parent then Tracker Parent Co in 1995)
MIC = Silver King Boats (1994-2002 Mako Marine Parent Co)
MRK = Mako Marine (2002 Parent Co SeaCraft from Tracker

Great information and thank you! Uncleboo, small world. I am in Poquoson, Va and bought a 2013 Camaro from Henricks in Norfolk on Virginia Beach Blvd.

Hull number help
 

Hey all! Became a member of the cult earlier this summer when my brother and I got our hands on a 1975 Sceptre single I/O. I was poking around to get more insight on my hull number. I see the description in the post but was wondering what my double 0 means. Thanks!
