Very nice boat you got there,wish mine was a little bigger for these sea's.I thought the guy told me it was a 81 but could be mistaken. What part of the HIN number tells you?
had to go take some pics

Just waiting on some Carb parts then hope to splash next week

The last 2 digits of the HIN tell you year (the 3rd and 4th to last digits tell you the month). Based on the decals, your boat appears to be at least an '87 when Tracker took over.

I have the sister boat to yours........It is an 88. Check the HIN#. Family has an 87 and I had an 89. I know that year. Stainless console rail is a leftover from pre tracker and so is the switch panel. The 89's had neither of those. Just read your prior post where you found the HIN. Everything on that boat is original. Very clean shape.

It's at least as late as an '87, and as new as a '90 based upon the hull decals.
