I was wrong about over 200 being built.

My Hull # is 122. I took final delivery 08/08/06.

There's more than that...between '01 & '04 we sold in the neighborhood of 3 dozen 31s @ our dealership alone, and they've been making the 30SS since 1987. I'm sure that the HIN sequence #'s changed between subsequent ownership changes. Boats are referred to @ the factory by the middle numbers/letters because the first part of the HIN is the manufacturer's code(constant), and the last part is the date of manufacture and model year(constant for that year).

hpoffshore,
You are correct. I have 38659 which was the 59th 386 that the last owners built.Every time the company has been sold the numbers were started over.

If that is the case; CSI must have owned Sonic for quite some time!

It's just a number....the Cigarette 600th special edition Top Gun went through our dealership too, and it didn't have a 600 in it's HIN.

Our boat was built before CSI bought Sonic. Ours is a 2005. When I was at the factory during production this was the info that I was given by a long time employee.
