Answer 1

Yes, its the HIN, hull identification number.

ZZN is the manufacturers code, means its a seadoo.

next 6 or 7 numbers are the serial number.

Then there will be something like L697. We will use this as an example.

The letter "L" is the month of manufacture, "A" being Jan. "B" being Feb., etc.

The 6 is the year of manufacture, 1996.

The 97 is the Year model.

So L697 means it was manufactured in December 96 and is a 97 year model.
