is there any way to tell the age of a AA Broadbill based on the Serial Number? I just picked one up and I know most of the owner history but dont have a timeline. It seems to be in good condition for an old boat (ie have not found any soft spots). Just REALLY dirty and the gelcoat is oxidized and covered in tree sap. Thinking it will get hunted this season then do a "restoration" on it next summer.

I'm not aware of any but there may be. Does anything in the S/N seem to make sense as a date? I wonder if that could be my old boat. I sold it to, at the time, the head football coach at Madison County High School. His last name was Frith and was told he passed away. I have no idea what happened to the boat after he bought it.

I bought it from a friend who has had it for a long time. last time it was registered was 1997. He bought it from someone else who i think is the original owner but not sure. the last 4 of the SN are M85D which may work for 1985 timeline estimate but I dont know what years AA was in production.
They were in production in 85, that's for certain. If that was my old boat somebody put a different trailer under it, which I doubt because I put a brand-new trailer under it in 1994. If it was last used in 97 that trailer would still be under it.
yea, the trailer is a bit IFFY. has new tires but was not sure it would make it home based on the overall condition.
I am going to be asking restoration questions once I get into the boat in the spring and have had a chance to check it out during hunting season this year. Have some thoughts on what I would like to do but dont want to mess it up in the process. I guess step one will be to see if it floats!!
