howdy I know this has been talked about in the past but I am going to approach it again

DOR227160595
DOR = dory
22 = length 22 ft
716 = 716th boat built
05 = month built
95 = year built.

am I correct in my assessment

Roger, mine looks different than yours.

Starts with CDO and in the month spaces has G4.

Otherwise your description fits.

The list of manufacturer's identification codes can be found here: http://www.uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification-result2.php
You can also see how hull identification numbers are played out here: http://boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm

'between Nov. 1 1972 and Aug 1 1984, was one scheme

Since Aug 1 1984 it is first 3 letters are the manufacture--there are at least 6 for C Dory's

The next 5 numbers are the serial number--in the C Dory line the first 2 are the size and the next 3 are the hull number built (some are the # that year or that manufacture). The next two digits are a letter A-L (Jan thru Dec, for the month when the hull was started the next number is the year hull was started, and the final two numbers are the year model.

For example my boat is: CDO (C Dory )25 (length) 625(625th 25 by Reynolds CDO) A7Hull started in January 2007 . 07 model year 07

Manufacturers:
MFN Marben Marine,
DOR was the original Toland [pre Reynolds] -
CDO Reynolds;
UWH was Fluid Marine after Reynolds.
CMC Trident marine after Fluid
NWM is Northwest Marine Industries [current owners]

Also included are: GXK, MFN, CCR, MEH Not sure how these really fit in--but one was the cape cruiser.


I will not confuse the issue with boats prior to Aug. 1 1984

In Roger's case, something is wrong with the "05" Could that be a "C" 5 meaning that your boat was started in March 1995?
