97 model year hull by Parker Marine is all you can deduce from those 12 number HIN, hull ID number.
* First 3-digits denotes Parker as the builder, which may or may not have some intelligence built into it.
* The next 5 are an internal code of Parker
* Digits 9 & 10 are the hull certification dates, which may NOT be the same as the manufacturing date
* And the last 2 denote the hull model year, which again may not also be a mfg date, as anything built from August 1st through and to July 31st of the following year wears the last 2-digits of that following year, even if built in August of the previous year.
Ahhhhhh, you should also NEVER post your hull ID anywhere in public on an open forum ....

Steal a boat ... and register it using THAT stolen number ... get the title in that stolen name and then sell it for a hefty profit! Think ID theft ... happens a lot!Parkerman":30mo91zq said:
Good question
! Maybe since I'm from a mandatory titled State is why I thought of it and was concerned. FYI, once while in line in Mass boat registry, the clerk told me that about 10% of boats attempted to be registered (mostly small ones) can't be ... as someone else has already 'used' that number. Though that 10% really also includes "other " issues hodling up the title. But can you imagine the hassel :shock: if it was your boat held up?????
