My guess is that they regularly mark any boat built in a given year as a "+1" model year.
Does anyone know if there's any rule on this matter?

They started building 2011 on 2-1-10 witch sucks for me because I took delivery on mine one month ago and it is a 2010. I thought they told me that boat ran 85 and was trying different props. boat looks great

33 CFR 181.3 Model year means the period beginning August 1 of any year and ending on July 31 of the following year. Each Model year is designated by the year in which it ends.
This means that if a boat is built between Aug 1, 2010 and July 31, 2011 then the boat is a 2011 model year.

If this is the rule, how can they justify plenty of boats where the two digits of the HIN which show the month/year of manufacture are before August, with a "+1" model year?
And not just Fountain btw, I've seen that also on other boats.
