Hello, I am new here; hope I'm posting correctly.
I have someone interested in buying an old boat I inherited. I have the DMV registration.
I am trying to research the boat value but can't figure out the manufacturer.
Here is what the registration says
Builder: GLASS Year: 1982
Vessel Type: RUNABOUT
The HIN id number begins with GSW
I found a link in another post in this forum to the Coast Guard site for finding the manufacturer with the HIN id number.
From that link I ended up at the Federal database.
When I put the identification letters, GSW, (the first 3 letters of the HIN) into the Federal ID database this is what I get:
ORG AMERICAN OFFSHORE
1611 Lake Arbor Texas
They are a boat manufacturer currently in business but there is nothing on their website to help me identify an old 1982 boat.
I found a list of boat manufacturers in the drop down menu on a used boats website so I am guessing it is one of these:
Glasply
Glass Sport
Glass Stream
Glassmaster
Glasspar
Glassport
Glasstream
Glastron
My head is spinning from trying to search for a 1982 Runabout (Bowrider) from all those companies
Please help? thank you
