What’s the serial number and data on capacity plate? That will help us decode some data.
I’m in same situation with HIN. Mine was made mid72 but is registered as a ‘73 in Hawaii with a state issued HIN. No HIN on stern as per law but such is life. I’m getting a stainless plate made and adding to my boat.

My hull has a HIN plate
In hopes to go through her more thoroughly in the coming weeks when removing the massive inline 6 diesel and Penta outdrive.
Everything looked extremely dry and mostly rot free from what I can see though hatches.
Once motor is out and drive is off I plan to go through and document thoroughly + give her a good clean to see whats what.
I'm impressed with how well she's been preserved considering its been on the hard outdoors for 31+ years.
These pics don't do her justice but wanted to share pics of the condition when rescued.
