To determine the year your aluminum Sears boat was made, check for a serial number or hull identification number (HIN) typically located on the transom or the back of the boat. The first two characters of the HIN often indicate the year of manufacture. Additionally, you can consult the Sears catalog or contact a marine expert or vintage boat enthusiast who may have records or resources related to Sears boats.
Sears and Roebuck aluminum boats were produced by various manufacturers under contract for the Sears catalog. One notable company known for manufacturing these boats was the Alumacraft Boat Company.
