Can someone decode a VIN for me?

[SeaCraft 90]

I just purchased a SeaCraft. I was told it was a 1990 model. I could not find anything past 1989...
VIN YSIG00I0G990

[SeaCraft 90]

Who made the Seacraft CC in 1990? I just purchased a 20'...

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.

BTW - there is a site dedicated to sailfish boats as well

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

So your saying they didn’t make Seacraft CC in 90? My boat is actually 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.
