So the HIN on one of the boats I am considering is TSP21124M83I. I
know that TSP was the builder and I know the boat was built in 1983
because of the 83 in the HIN. So how does one decypher the other
letters and numbers?
I know that there were not 21000+ F21’s built so how does one know
what his sail number should be? Is this boat suposed to be 211, 124,
or somthing totaly different?

Lots of stuff on the web, including BoatUS, that will decode the older HIN. http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm But anyway, TSP21124M83I Is: TSP = builder 21124 = Manufactuers hull number which is: 21 = Freedom 21 124 = hull number M = model year indicator 83 = model year I = build month (April) “C.

Since Freedom 21s can have multiple HIN formats, here are a bunch of
links:

And a good reference from the Mariner site:
