How to Read a Sea Ray Boats Hull Identification Number
If you own or are looking to purchase a Sea Ray Boats boat, the 12-character HIN stamped on the transom contains key manufacturing details. Every genuine hull built by Sea Ray Boats begins with the letters SER. Here is how each section breaks down:
- Characters 1–3 (SER): Identifies Sea Ray Boats as the certified manufacturer registered with the US Coast Guard.
- Characters 4–8: Unique internal production serial number for that specific boat hull.
- Character 9: Production month code, where A represents January, B represents February, through L representing December.
- Character 10: The last digit of the year the boat was manufactured at the facility.
- Characters 11–12: The official certified model year of the vessel.
For instance, in the sample HIN SER12345D424, the boat was manufactured by Sea Ray Boats (SER) in April for the 2024 model year. Always check that the model year decoded matches the boat title and registration card before completing a purchase.
