Can anyone decipher these numbers?

I just picked up an old Dura-Craft 12 ft aluminum runabout. Model is V1251R, Serial # 7154 .. I checked the data base provided on this site to no avail. Does anyone have a clue what these numbers reveal at all? The ONLY thing I am certain of is that its 12ft long... Thanks, Joe.

I'd best guess as a 'V' hull model of 12' length made in 1951 during the month 'R' (or else its a model design/feature code).

DuraCraft (note written as 1 word) began building hulls in the '40s, so that fits. But again, that's just a wild azz guess on my part!

It's actually a Duratech...but I think your logic still stands.. thanks.
