Decode HIN 355 Aft
I was looking at my paperwork on my new to me '95 355 Aft Cabin and was wondering if anyone could help decode my HIN for me. I had similar info for my last boat, it was just interesting to know where it was built and when etc...
I've searched around and think I understand it, but would like another pair of eyes on it.
My HIN is CDRP0001F495
CDR - Carver Boats
PO - I'm assuming that's the model 355 Aft?
001 - Hull Number 1?
F - Started build June?
4 - Day?
95 - Model year 1995
Does that look close? Thanks in advance!

CDR....Maker
P0001....Maker serial number
F4.....June of 94 build
95......Model year
Thats what I came up with.
Looks like it may be an early hull, check with Carver......they did change/upgrade lots of things as the builds went along, I know ours has many differences from an earlier boat of the same model year......

I believe this is correct. 04 for April and 95 for year of manufacture. Mine ends in 0882 which is Aug 1982 for a model year 83 boat.

Re: Decode HIN 355 Aft
My last boat was a Sea Ray and the HIN was able to pin down the factory location along with the dates.
Kinda nerdy, but I'm ok with being like that. haha
