found hull # - what does it mean?

[vabeach1234]

Where did you find it?

From what I understand, in Nov. of 1972 the government standardized boat HIN's. Before that, all manufacturers had there own way of doing things. Mine is 231-2061 but the state of Maryland gave the boat a new HIN number that is on the title. It starts with MDZ and ends with 72. I guess MDZ stands for Maryland assigned and 72 stands for 1972 the year of the boat.

I located the original HIN on a plaque in the head where you access the guages.

What do you do for the hin's that do not have an alpha designation but instead are numerical...I have a '76 32' Sportfisherman. Is this considered an F32? Or does it have some other designation?

Thanks,

... Hello, and how was your 4th ...??? I'm restoring what is appearently a 1965 Trojan 24'6" with a 9'3" Beam. SB. I only have the pink slip to go by, but... I'm finding the numbers aren't matching to the motor, tranny, or HN... ??? So.. I'm looking for some clearification... can you help...??? Here's the number I pulled off the plaque, on the bulkhead in the head.
GW21 R523725. ... and the boss off the Timming cover: Pw32R 525151.
Any ideas would be appreciated... Thank you, in advance.
