Re: I have the info of the s/n plate. Could you tell me what type of boat and year??
MOT is Monterey Marine In Stuart Florida. 236747 is the serial number. I'm lost on the date - the last 4 numbers should be a date code: letter for the month, number for the date, and then two digits for the year. They were in business from 12/5/84 to 2/20/03, so the year falls somewhere in that range.
What state are you in? I'm in Florida, and down here you can go the the tag office with the hull ID and they can track down owner, get a duplicate title, transfer and register, etc. Where did you get the boat? Did the owner have a title? Hopefuly he signed over a title, otherwise I'm not sure this is going to be easy for you to register.
Can you post pics of the boat and hull ID?
