M = Mystery. Seriously, you might be right that your '73 model year hull was built and numbered in a (pre-1972) non-standard format. And then the factory didn't change it after the standards took effect. Yours does not match either of the below formats. I'm sure you've done plenty of searches looking for the answer.

1972 to 1984 Manufacturer HIN Formats—HINs were formatted as follows:

XXX123451280X
3 letters identify the manufacturer’s identification code5 letters or numbers (serial #)Month and year of manufacture or date of certificationAdditional optional characters for builder’s purpose

XXX12345M73EX
3 letters identify the manufacturers’ identification code5 letters or numbers (serial #)Letter code indicates information to followMonth and year of certificationAdditional optional characters for builder’s purpose
