Well thats a 1st, no Manufacturer found w an otherwise decodable HIN.
HIN Search results:

Success!*F0100519D989 is of the standard HIN type called Current-Format HIN. If you are buying this boat/craft then you should get the*Boat-Alert History*for 19.99$ from the two certified boat history report providers.

F01 HIN DecoderOur HULL ID Decoder breaks down the Hull identification number into the following information:

The HIN or CIN you have entered meets the Current-Format HIN format. It might also be a type that contains the country code and thus the boat comes from USA or Other . The serial number of the HIN is 00519 and is set by the boat builder. This boat or vessel has a Certification Date of (9) and a Model Year of 1989 with month of build (April) based on the formatting of your hull_identification_number (HIN) .

The manufacturer identification code (MIC) of your craft identification number (CIN or HIN) is F01. This MIC (F01) was not found in the vessel database and thus does not belong to any boat company.

There are 0 boat Recalls for your vessel:

Boat Recalls for your HIN and MIC: 0.

Results from here
Www.Hindecoder.com

Ran it w F zero 1 and F Ooo 1 as the MIC (1ST 3 places in a HIN) and the results were the same, no manufacturer found.

Are you in the US?

You can try running variants of F01 here

Thanks all for the feedback. I will post some pics later tonight. But, the FOI must be right, I did find a tag with Florida Fiberglass on it.
