The last four numbers are the month and year of manufacture. Generally the first few numbers and letters denote the name of the manufacturer.

The caveat is that on older boats these rules of thumb may not hold true.

Thanks, it is totally trashed, looks like it was an on the hard live a board and then got deserted at boat storage, totally neglected for years, little or no maintenance for probably my guess 15 + years.
Needed some parts due to hurricane IAN damage in Florida... not much to get here for sure, above or interior or below, too bad.

Thanks for the link

HIN format:
1st 3 letters — manufacturer (GND == Grand Banks)
Letter & next 4 digits — model hull # / serial #
Letter & digit - month & year of production
Last 2 digits — model year

I have 0516, a 1977. I could use a few things such as cabin doon locks and other little parts.

Right. Prior to 1973 the were no standardized HIN's, builders put whatever numbers on them they wanted. Serial number on my 1969 Columbia sailboat was just 236. No clue from that what builder or model year. And the number was not engraved in the stern like an HIN, it was on a little plaque in the head.

The last 4 are month and year built.

The first three characters are a MIC (Manufacturer Identification Code) assigned by the Coast Guard to the manufacturer or the person importing the boat; characters four through eight are a serial number assigned by the manufacturer; the last four characters indicate the month and year the boat was built.
