Can anyone help me decipher my HIN. I recently bought a sea ray, and the guy i bought it from says its a 1979 but i looked for hours and couldn't find one that looked like mine, thanks.
the format was standardized in 1984, so you are the older format.
So Sea Ray serial # 6373M Mfr Date Sept 1976
Sea Ray also added their own internal numbers for hulls that's the second part 19710067-7
Which should indicate model 197 (matches)
10067 this is just a sequential number the plant used for ALL hulls manufactured at that plant, so your hull was the 10,067th hull produced in 1976 at that plant. -7 this hull for model year 1977.
Model year runs August thru July
