Thanks for replying. I had ready been there, but there was no indication of what M84F meant. Is the M or the F the month it was built? Is it and 84 Model or was it built in 84?
The google site had a letter and 3 digits not the format above.
It almost seems that is not a valid number from the little research I was able to do. Have you compared the HIN on your paperwork with what is on the hull itself?

It looks like the HIN that started this thread is one of the Pre-August 1984 formats. If so, the M84 means the boat is a Model Year 1984 and the F indicates the production month was January. This link is to a document explaining the various HIN formats and how to read.
20 seconds on Google will get you this:

Where is the HIN # located on our boats? I am use to seeing them stamped on the transom.
Thank-you,
