HIN for an early 20MA
 

I have a HIN question. I have a 1975 20 foot Master Angler.



It has the liner, cap, enormous console with seat molded to the door.



1975 was the first year. I was considering selling it. A potential buyer was concerned because the HIN started with SECF, not SECM. I never thought about it before. As this is the first year, and maybe even the first 20MA made, I wonder if the guys at the factory just used a sport fisherman "F" instead of an "M" for the first few or even year?


If someone converted a 20 SF to a 20MA, I can't imagine why, and if they did, kudos to making it look like it's 46 years old and original.


I am thinking I am going to keep it and repower, re-transom and re-console it.


Thoughts?

By the way, I live in a no title state, so no help there...

Just ruined my first guess. This is where I wish we could get access to factory data records and build sheets etc. I bet they’re in a box in CM’s garage…

I got a ma forget what year it is but I’ll check the vin in the morning
