Hi. Im looking at a Chris Craft Lancer 23 and this is the only thing resembling Hull Number I could find. Can anyone spot what this might be? Is it original or just a random numbered put there later? The pattern doesnt seem to match CC? Thanks!

I suspect this is the factory ID, H being Holland,MI.
A search yielded this, FWIW: Of the 2728 23' Lancer hulls produced(115 of these were badged as the 23' Commander) I see 643 of them were inboard models with the tunnel drive. All the rest of the boats had the full 24-degree deadrise at transom and used the outdrive or v-drive systems to work with that deep v.Jul 21, 2010
Thanks! So it might be an original stamp and actually mean something :) This is the only history tracking available on this boat so far. Any way of getting the production year out from the "8164"?
Perhaps a visit or conversation with the Mariners Museum?
I believe it is the 8th year of construction for that model and 164 hull constructed.
Thanks! That would be 1977 then?
Usually I think zero is year one, my hull is FXA350030H, 1969 is FXA351....
