NCZ000470783.....owner says this is a Hunter boat,1983. I haven't seen the boat but that doesn't seem right. I can see the year, but doesn't the ID typically start with HUN and include the length in it? (I'm not at my boat either, so I can't see mine either.)

1983 sounds right, but...

...the first three letters would be HUN unless the Hunters had a different lettering scheme in that year.

NCZ is a Homebuilt boat from North Carolina

Individuals building boats for their own use and not for the purposes of sale are what are referred to as "backyard boat builders". They must obtain a 12 character HIN from their State boating agency. The Manufacturer Identification Code at the beginning of the HIN for a "home built" boat is an abbreviation for the State followed by a "Z" which indicates that it is a State identification.

Right...just figured that out...

Apparetly Hunter offered the hull as a kit and the owner would finish it out and thus it's a "homebuilt" boat...the "Quest" line. Didn't know Hunter ever did that, but you can see the listing at the link below if you're interested. Learn something new every day!

I knew a guy...

that built his Hunter Cherubini 33 from a kit. So Hunter did do this.
