    MTZ is the manufaturer code -----> check this out because with that MTZ in the begining of the hull I.D. number that boat is not a Hondo. Click the link below.

    Here is another site to go to so you can figure out your hull I.D. numbers.
    What those numbers mean

    Any Hull ID # that starts with a 2 letter state abbreviation followed by a "Z" is an ID# issued by that state. Used either for homebuilt boats or for one that has had its original ID# removed, covered up, etc.
    If it is a 1977, it should have had the Hull ID embossed into the right hand side of the transom. Perhaps it got filled in/covered up during a paint job?

    After checking a few websites this how I think his I.D number decodes
    MTZ11064F989
    MTZ ---> Montana Homemade Boats
    11064 ---> Serial Number
    F9 ---> Month of Manufactuer which is June
    89 ---> Model year of boat which is 1989
    Either way the boat is not a Hondo by those numbers.
    The I.D numbers you posted did you get them off the hull ? or are the I.D numbers on the paper work you got with the boat ?
