Re: Coast Guard boarding & hull number question?
 

Very strange. I would want flares in a small lake.

One of my high school friends was a Coastie for 20 yrs. He always has great stories. They are mostly young men and like bikinis, go fast boats, and going into harms way.
Bless em all.

I knew last fall that venting tools were required, but the instructions on the back were wrong for many fish. I have the tool and de-hooker now. I still use my pliers and needle. I try to keep sani wipes in my box too. How do you clean the inside of the venting tool? Little nip bottle? Old fashioned pipe cleaners?

I`m all about being a steward for our mother, but sometimes the solution can be the problem.

yeah, ever read the cfrs on what goes into a first aid kit? And then go to a pharmacy and try to buy that [censored]? The 80 year-old woman behind the counter will tell you she hasn't seen half of that stuff in 20 years. But no flares?!?! why not!

How many numbers should it be? :D

Alabama doesn't require a tile so the only thing I have to go by is the bill of sale and registration.

After 1972, all HIN's should be 12 characters long (alpha/numeric). It appears you are missing some of yours.
