I have a Pre-1972 so no HUll Identification Number HIN).

Went through spring and winter archives of on-line Sears catalogs from 1962 to 1971 to find when they made the model year of my 11’-9” model Jon boat.

Choose the year and searched on “Jon” and it lists the pages that apply.

I learned through the process that Sears had several different manufacturers make their boats over the years and the model numbers often changed.

Finally found the model number of my Jon boat in the 1968 Sears catalog!

12-digit HIN, so yes in this case the '76' at the end corresponds to a 1976 hull. Per the USCG HIN database @ https://uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification.php =
