Aloha All!

I'm looking at buying an old Fiberform to fix-up and the guy selling it says it's a 1966. The HIN is 176654D and someone told me it's a 1954. Any idea what the HIN numbers and letter mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, does anyone know a website on Fiberform and it's boat history?

Mahalo (thank you) in advance!

I belive hin is hull identification number, these are the numbers that are etched into the outside of hull usually on back of hull.

Re: Fiberform HIN information

The HIN is 1766654D and we know it's a 17' boat so the first 2 numbers I assume are the length. Someone told me that the last 2 numbers are the year it was built which means the boat was built in 1954.

If that's the case, what does the 666 and the D mean?

Thank you.

Re: Fiberform HIN information

I'm in the same boat, so to speak, with a Fiberform HIN of FBFO2174m78D-21FS I'm hoping someone will have a resource to decode these numbers. I've heard the same comments about what people (dealers, other boaters, repair shops) THINK the numbers means but no definitive answers.
