Thanks, I've wondered about the vintage of this thing there are no numbers or identifying marks easily visible. The only problem is that I might have to get a title for the boat and that involves hull or vessel identification numbers an inspection and detection by DNR or some such seemingly irrelevant organization. I think it boils down to being a homebuilt job. This is all fueled of course by b*&#$Y neighbors who live here 6weeks a year, hate my little boat problem (6 optis,sunfish canoes,tornado,visitors etc.) on our tiny lot, and feel free to abandon their property for the remaining 46 weeks of the year! Sorry for the rant. Tired and frustrated today in paradise.
