Getting a boat without a HIN isn't a big deal, just a little bit of a hassle. You need to meet the Eco cops at the pre arranged spot (usualy a parking lot or rest area) They will inspect the boat to make sure it is what you are claiming to register it as. My last Mako had a state issued HIN.

Take it from some one who's been there.

Get a boat that is good running condition and just needs some TLC.

That way you can have family time running it, and clean it up as you use it.

In the long run it will be cheaper and more fun.

Thanks to all that responded.

Bigshrimpin-what does everyone at CSC do for a reg with pre 72/73 boats?

IslandTrader-sounds like some of the advise I'm getting from friends.

FELLOW-SHIP-I can relate to the car reference, I'm into them too. Into Cobra's by chance? Don't have the time for a complete resto, but I am still on the hunt for a 23 for me and my family to enjoy.

Anyone have a 69/70 around here. Anything different from these years than other Potter builts?
