Look on the transom at the top edge of the rail...usually the HIN is found there, but there seems to be some questions as to how many different places the number was placed..
Along this same line I have just become the proud new owner of a 39, hull # 28, built in 1971...I think..LOL. I know about the Nov 72 start of HIN reqirements, but my question is what about boats like mine built before this...did they not create HINs, or something to denote recordkeeping....I'm in the throws of trying to get insurance...
Thanks for all the help, and I hope that I was some use to you Mark..

No luck, but more questions.
Thanks, Walt. I don't see anything there.
Looking at my title, the Hull ID No. is ERY34127M78I
Am I correct in deciphering it?
ERY = Ericson Yachts
34 = Length
127 = Hull Number
M = ???
78 = Year
I = ??? (Since mine has a trunk cabin and is clearly a 34-T, I would have expected a roman numeral two to signify that, not a one.)
Also, mine came with a tiller instead of a wheel. Does anybody know how many of those were made?

I think the M and the I refer to the month it was built, but I can't remember; I think the I is the month, counting from either Jan = A, etc. or Aug. = A, etc. They changed the labelling along the way, and since then nobody can figure out when their boats were built.
But they sail just as well, regardless of which month they were built!
Others may have better information on this. Also, if you do a search on HIN numbers on various websites, you will find more information on when the change was made, and what it was before and after.

Mark,
Here is information on the HIN (copied from survey done for my boat):
October 31, 1972. The number consists of a combination of 12 letters and numbers identifying the manufacture,
the model number, hull number, date of construction and model year.
Hull numbers used between October 31, 1972 and August 1, 1984 are as follows:

Hull numbers used between October 31, 1972 and August 1, 1984 are as follows:
1 2 3 = Manufacture's Code
4 5 = Model Number
6 7 8 = Hull Number
9 10 11 12 = Date of Manufacture ( 9 10 Month, 11 12 Year)
Or
9 = M
10 11 = Model Year
12 = Month of Manufacture; A = August B = September
90 = Model 90
014 = Hull #14
M83B = Model Year, Construction began 1982, Code B = September
Hull Numbers used after August 1, 1984 are as follows:4 5 = Model Number
6 7 8 = Hull Number
9 10 11 12 = Date of Manufacture ( 9 10 Month, 11 12 Year)
Or
9 = M
10 11 = Model Year
12 = Month of Manufacture; A = August B = September
Example: TSP90014M83B
TSP = Tillotson/Pearson90 = Model 90
014 = Hull #14
M83B = Model Year, Construction began 1982, Code B = September
1 2 3 = Manufacture's Code
4 5 6 7 8 = Manufacture's Hull Number
9 10 = Date of Certification or Manufacture (9 is Letter for Month; A =
January, 10 is Last Digit of Year)
11 12 = Model Year
40012 = Hull Serial Number
L5 = December 1985 Date of Certification or Manufacture
86 = 1986 Model Year
4 5 6 7 8 = Manufacture's Hull Number
9 10 = Date of Certification or Manufacture (9 is Letter for Month; A =
January, 10 is Last Digit of Year)
11 12 = Model Year
Example: PYZ40012L586
PYZ = Present Yachts, Inc.40012 = Hull Serial Number
L5 = December 1985 Date of Certification or Manufacture
86 = 1986 Model Year

Lots of info, including, in one of those posts somewhere, a list a all Ericson HIN # series, by year and model.

Mark, If your boat HIN is anything like the ones on our E31's it'll be in the upper straboard corner of the transom. Glyn E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey, CA

Your choice
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
The only reference to multihulls that I am aware of is the location of the HIN.
As good a reference as any: http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm
Or the "M" in your HIN denotes that it's a Multihull. Take your pick.
