Default Can someone decode a VIN for me?

Your boat is actually a 20' Sailfish YSI is Seminole Marine, Inc. out of Georgia.

Seacraft was actually defunct in 1990 IIRC

FWIW - the 20' Sailfish from that era is often confused with a Seacraft because the hull is nearly identical. The give away is the plastic hatches and deck configuration being a little different. I bought a '92 last year that the previous owner swore was a Seacraft as well. Great hull nonetheless. Here is a before and after of the one I revived from the dead...FWIW - -that hull is the reason I KNEW my next boat had to be a Seacraft. Best riding 20' boat I have ever been on, period.

SeaCraft was made till about 2005. Not sure of the exact year they ceased production.

Default Boat is a Sailfish

I called Seminole Marine this morning. They looked up my HIN and said they made the boat in 89 (1990 model). He said everything about it is a SeaCraft except for the manufacture.

That's how they made sales by capitalizng on the once patent VDH. Another copycat version of the legend. All this does not make it a SeaCraft nor does it constitute a poorly made boat. When in doubt of its integrity, get a marine survey.
