What are the #'s....
I just bought this flat, It has a Hondo on the dash. The guy said it was a 1977 model. Could I tell what it really is and what year, from the vin tag? This is a true flat bottom. thanks for any info...
What are the #'s....
Here it is MTZ11064F989
Our hondo doesn't have #'s like that..But it's a 70'.....Sure someone can help... wink
Thanks Sangster, you have been good help to me.
MTZ is the manufaturer code -----> check this out because with that MTZ in the begining of the hull I.D. number that boat is not a Hondo. Click the link below.
HULL I.D. SEARCH
Here is another site to go to so you can figure out your hull I.D. numbers.
What those numbers mean
shouldnt it say on the registration?
Hmmm...anyone know how to tell a Lavey year?
It says 1964 on the reg, just want to be sure.
Any Hull ID # that starts with a 2 letter state abbreviation followed by a "Z" is an ID# issued by that state. Used either for homebuilt boats or for one that has had its original ID# removed, covered up, etc.
If it is a 1977, it should have had the Hull ID embossed into the right hand side of the transom. Perhaps it got filled in/covered up during a paint job?
After checking a few websites this how I think his I.D number decodes
MTZ11064F989
MTZ ---> Montana Homemade Boats
11064 ---> Serial Number
F9 ---> Month of Manufactuer which is June
89 ---> Model year of boat which is 1989
Either way the boat is not a Hondo by those numbers.
The I.D numbers you posted did you get them off the hull ? or are the I.D numbers on the paper work you got with the boat ?
