Joe, my main question is what source I should trust. Just trying to figure out why there would be different stencil number ranges for each year.

I would only trust the Ghost Busters.

Bottom line, I would contact Boston Whaler and give them you stencil number.
Then can tell you when the boat was shipped.
That's about all they can tell you.

Many times the boat may sit in the yard for several months or even longer. No guarantee what year model it may or may not be.

I have, and still am doing, extensive research and gathering of info from members and Boston Whaler.
99% of all these numbers have been verified by Boston Whaler or members in one way or another.

If you want to help further, then tell us where your Stencil number is.
Bow locker or Inside Transom?
And, do you have oar locks?

I am going to add your boat in the link above as a 1963.

If you find anything else different from Boston Whaler, please let me know.
