Hi
I bought a small motor boat a while back as a fixer-upper and now realise I no nothing about it - including the Hull ID Number.
It had been repainted and any markings had been removed or painted over.
Is there a way of getting a new HIN? I tried the govt boat registration website - they refered me to the RYA.
They couldnt offer help either unless I was a member.
I dont think the boat is dodgy or stolen - the engine ID plate is in tact and i think if somebody wanted to hide the identity of the boat they would have removed this also.
I think it was just an over eager paint job which covered everything.
No idea even what make or model the craft is so cant go down that route.
Ant ideas?
