I'm looking at a 18' Cavalier hull number

VUD-18-2027-C

From a search on this site I have learned:
V = Cavalier
U = Utility
D = 65 thru 66

need help with
2027 = ???

C = Cadillac, Mi

Production numbers for this hull/1965/1966
I've read 60 hulls in 1965? How many in 1966?
Thanks
Tom

1966: VUD-18-2001 to 2040. Looks like yours falls into mid production run for '66. Info found in Chris-Craft, the Essential Guide. CQ
