    If you look at the framing it is blue. That blue is a waterproofing membrane. It is used to waterproof and protect wood. I plan to paint everything with that stuff.

    Have no clue. I couldn't find anything. I went to fill out the paper work for the registration. I just said it was a 72. 72 is the year I believe they started the HIN numbers boats. It might be newer but that's what i have to do to make California happy

    Bought a boat need some help.

    I didn't get a title with it. I am going to have to have a vin verification. Its not to big of a deal. I don't think it is a 91. It looks much older than that. I think it might be pre 72. That's when they started the HIN numbers.
