I noticed that in one picture, the gaff of the sail was not raised to the top of the mast. I looked through other pictures (from different angles)and noticed the same things on...

    Is sticker paper HIN legit?

    My HIN is etched into the transom by hand. I wonder if you can take the number to DMVand see if it is stolen?? Is e price right or is it high/low??

    Is sticker paper HIN legit?

    My 1987 has a metal plate on the inside of the transom and the HIN is also etched into the glass on the starboard side of the transom on the exterior. Something is fishy...in NJ you need a title to register a boat. At least I did this year.
