Hi all,
I am new to boating and just joined this forum. My neighbor gave me a 10 foot aluminum boat last year after I cleaned her yard a few times. She did not have any papers for it nor has it ever been registered. I did not know what it was for a long time, until I started cleaning it and saw the words "Sea King" on the sides, in red. I would like to register it, as I also have a 53 Wards Sea King 5 outboard that I got for free. I am running into some problems, as the DMV says that it needs to have a HIN, but i've checked the whole boat multiple times and cannot locate one. I also do not have any ownership papers. Can anyone help me locate the make and model and what I should do to register it in California. I have read that before 1972, boats did not have a HIN. Does this one fall in that category?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
