Chuck:
If you go to the C&C Photoalbum site and look under C&C designs, you
will see that there were four (4) C&C 32 designs, a, b, c, and
d.......the first three (3) had tillers and the fourth (4th), the 'd
design' had wheel steering.
My 32, HIN ZCC 32 277 M84 D has wheel steering.......that's where I am
getting confused.

I think the K means the hull was molded in November.
Found the HIN explained on the web:
Picture <http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm>
The first 3 characters are what are referred to as the MIC or
Manufacturers Index Code. There are several sites on the internet
that can help you decode the MIC of your HIN. One such site is
through the US Coast Guards website
<http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx>. Another option that
might be a bit easier to use is Boat History Report
<http://www.boathistoryreport.com/main.cfm?f=partners&partnerid=59547>which
hosts a free HIN validator to verify you have the correct HIN to begin
with.
The following 5 digits vary according the manufacturer but are meant
to be used as a serial number for that boat. It may contain specifics
such as the length or material of the boat or it may just be a
sequential number. Manufacturers are able to use any series of
numbers and letters except O, I and Q because they are easily mistaken.
The last 4 characters of the HIN represent the certification year and
model of the watercraft. Character 9 refers to the month and
character 10- the year, the boat was certified. Certification means
when the boat was stated to be in compliance with all laws and
regulations regarding safe boat building. The letters correspond to
the following months: A- January, B- February, C- March, D- April, E-
May, F- June, G- July, H- August, I- September, J- October, K-
November, L- December. The year is dictated using the last number of
the year- for example, March of 1982 would be written as C2.
The eleventh and twelfth characters refer to the model year. In the
example above, the boat was certified in March of 1993 with a model
year of 1993.

No, I don't know anything about this boat. But I am curious about the
"K" in the HIN.
I thought there were four (4) C&C 32 models, A,B,C, and D.......mine is
HIN ZCC32277M84D.......have never heard of a "K".
