Aside from a 4 digit stamp on the port side live well, I had no visible HID on my '76 MA when I purchased it last year although, I was able to determine the HID using the prior owners registration which was in the original SECF format.
3 letters represent the manufacturer (SEC for Potters Seacrafts)
1 letter or number for model
1 number for length (e.g., 3 for 23')
3 numbers for hull id
4 numbers for month and year of manufacture
It's likely that the prior owner was unable to determine the original HID and had to apply to the state for reassignment.
