"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):
