That's one for Capt. Chuck but it looks to me like your boat was built June 79 and was hull 81.

SEC=Seacraft
F...?
8=18'
081=hull 81
06=June
79=1979

I'm probably wrong on the hull 81 part because it looks like there were only 52 made in 79...need the experts

Way to Go Brandon...Your getting in that SeaCraft Groove !!

SEC = Seacraft Corp
F = Superfish Model (marketing ploy term)
8 = 18'
081 = Hull #81
06 = June
79 = 1979

BTW: Don't trust those production numbers listed against Hull ID's

Sorry about awakening a dead thread but I'm trying to decode my HIN# and want to see if I got it right.

It's SECF3236M74L

SEC= seacraft
F = sport fish
32= 23 ft. ??
36 = hull number. ??
74 = 1974
L = ?????

I think first 3 represents 23'.
236 would be hull number...
I guess M could be March or May or it could be a scratched 11 representing Nov.

L? WTF- MICs only use 11 digits to the best of my knowledge...
Maybe the L was a Luxury edition built for Dr Gucci himself...

The number I got was actually on the title. So it is deff a M not an 11. Don't know. Like I said I was just curious.
