From what I had previously read about documentation requirements, it said that small recreational boats can be documented. But now I have learned that the boat has to weigh at least five tons in order to be documented. (I guess that is what they consider a small recreational boat.)

Posts: 152 Central Texas | IIRC the early 70's Hobie's might have their hull # somewhere around the pylons. Bill of sales... do not worry to much about that one. Just ask one of your buddy's to "sell you the thing again". The problem is even with a bill of sales you will not have any luck registering the Hobie in TX if you do not have a title. The home build route will not get you anywhere... They will ask you for documentation on building material... Mostlikely Parks and wildlife will not accept the homebuild route at all since it is kind of obvious that the Hobie is not home build. I mean the P&W guy's do not know much about sailing, but it does not require an expert to spot a Hobie 16 - they are around for 35 years. Search the Hobie forum... some guy from San Antonio ran into similar trouble. His attempst with P&W did not turn out well. Ask him for help and guidance.

Posts: 152 Central Texas | Keep us posted how it goes... Your situation is not all that unique. There a plenty of older sailbaots where the owner lost the title or never had a title. Here in TX it seems that those boats might not be worth while rescuing if there is not reasonable way of registering them. Patrick
