Larson 1900 Shark, What year

[etbill52]

Not long ago I got a Larson 1900 Shark 19', it had a 100 Mercury outboard,
I got it running good, the all the wood under the seats was bad.
I own a cabinet shop so I replaced all the wood under seats. the boat looks nice now. But to my question, The bill of sale didn't have the year it was made, I went to the court house and paid sales tax, got an application
for the boat number when I filled it out it read (boats built after November 30, 1972 must include the HIN located on the upper right corner of the boat's transom,) it has a number on the left side of the transon the number is
723405. I thought the number was suppose to be 12 digits long, not six. The last owner's number expired in 2004. I have contacted Larson Boats by e-mail
haven't heard anything. Can anyone Help with this?

Sorry for thr long post, Thanks
