Every Pacific Seacraft Flicka carries a 12-character Hull Identification Number (HIN) moulded into the transom. The format changed in 1984 to comply with the U.S. Coast Guard's revised standard, so there are two patterns to recognise. If you have any information on Nor'Star Flicka hull numbers, please get in touch.
