This is fun to see. I own Verboten now, having purchased her in July. It’s a wonderful little boat and we’re having a blast learning. I’ll add it’s a fin keel / tall rig. Thanks again sinnettc!hull #893, 2001
i own CPSH0253L687 Which translates to hull #H0253 manufactured in Dec of 86 I bought it in Dec of 2023You can tell the age of newer boats by looking at the HIN. HIN's came about in the early Seventies.
Similar to a car's VIN, the HIN is federally required and will tell you the date of maunufacture or certification as well as what model year it is. It also has a unique serial number as part of it. Tells you the manufacturer also.
Boat model years run from 1 August to 31 July the next year. 2016 models started in August 2015.
Take a look at What does it mean? to date your boat.
