I realize this type of issue comes up, (some may find this redundant) but I figured I would go strait to the professionals! The boat commission is requiring proof of year from manufacturer.
Some details..The original owner passed away, never registered the boat. (No paper trail) Due to no hull number (prior to 1972) they want proof of age.
In order to get sticker for state park use a hull number is needed. I want to sail it in NJ. Since it is over 12 feet registration is required. How to prove age when the original company is no longer in existence? This makes Restoration very difficult.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This little boat deserves to come alive again!
