Great.

Glad Chuck confirmed those numbers for us.

Looks like I was right with the "L".

Now you know where you fit in on this list.

Looks like your boat comes right before Hewlettk1 in the above list.
We can also tell that his hull sat on the factory lot for awhile longer as you have a higher stencil number but lower HIN number.
That happened back in those days.

Hewlettk1 hull was actually made before yours but did not receive the HIN number until it was shipped out in "F" June, where yours was shipped out in January as also verified by the "A6" in the number and confirmed by Chuck.
