If it's just a case of a model year, and not a model number being off
that is explainable.

The law allows a boat builder to renumber unsold boats
so they can remain "new" after the turn of a model year, with some
limitations based on the type or amount of changes that occured to that
model, (if any) when the nominal year changed. You often see HIN's with
a -* after the regular series. In this case, that would be 94-5. That
HIN would indicate that the boat was a 94 model, still unsold and being
represented as "new" in '95.

We should package that for people. "Yes, M'am, you may be turning 53,
but for a very modest investment we'll restamp your transom to indicate
you're only 35."
:-)

If the OP can find a weight for a 94 boat, but not a 95, that would
also indicate a model-year holdover.
