[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 467013, member: 22989"] Yes, original paint. I contacted them about getting another coastguard capacity tag and got no response. At about this time right about when I got the trailer turned right side up so I could tow the boat with it :lol: I tried to register the boat to be all legal like only to find out that the original owner had titled the boat and I had no title nor was this fact divulged to me at the time of purchase. #-o Called the guy I bought it from who bought it from the original owner only to find out he was deceased. I called the last know number and found it had been reissued, which lead me to believe the owners widow had moved. So I did some searching on line using the street address on the trailer title and found the house on google maps. Once I had the house located In was able to look up the phone numbers of some neighbors and I called them. I mostly got answering machines but I hadn't given up hope yet. LO and Behold one night at dinner a week or so later the phone rings. I go look on the call ID and it shows the same last name as the original owner and in fact it was their daughter calling to see what was going on. =D> When I explained the situation she told me that one of the numbers I left a message at was the mother of her friend across the street she grew up with who then contacted the PO's daughter. Long story short I met with the widow and she helped me get her a replacement title and then transfer it to me so I could register the boat. I paid all fees of course and was able to take the boat out one time last year around labor day. So that explains why it has taken me so long to get this project going. Next up, foaming in the battery box, removing the front seat and putting a deck with trolling motor on. [/QUOTE]
