That translates to F racing runabout, Sept 89, boat #6 of that year.

Looks to me like F Racing Runabout September 1989 6th boat built in 89.
However, I will ask Ralph.

I checked with Ralph before I bought the boat, to make sure it actually was a DeSilva, and he remembered that he built the boat for Wes Jones, and that Al Scopinich who was a personal friend, had bought the boat from Wes. I never checked on the serial #. but thanks for the information.
