i just bought a 15' 1963 starcraft jet aluminum v hull boat to work on and use for bass fishing and duck hunting. it has a little aluminum tag on the port side on the inside of the transom that has the model, serial no., and the max hp rating. there is no HIN number on the boat anywhere. BUT there is a HIN number on the title. i have asked about this on other forums, and have learned: boats before 1972 were made with no HIN number, but were then issued one after 1972. so since there is a HIN on the title, i assume this boat was issued one, but was never put on the boat. i called the VA dept. of game and fisheries to ask them what to do, and they said they would call back, but never did. so what should i do? i dont want to get in any legal trouble. should i
1) dont worry about it and leave it without one
2) make a little tag with the HIN thats on the title and put it on there
3) call someone else (who should i call?)
thanks for any help, im a little nervous because i really want to use this boat and do to college, even though i paid only 250$ for it, i wont be able to buy another for a long while. so thanks for any advice, i really appreciate your time.
