Capacity tags?

[Gunboy]

Bought a 96' Fisher SV18 DC , in excellent shape , but it has no coast guard capacity tag on it. It being pre-Tracker , and Brunswick says they can't help me but to call Tracker. I'm stuck on where to go. I even found a 97' for sale in Illinois , but the dealer won't photograph the tag for me. Any ideas peoples?

Tried contacting your local Coast Guard office?

Only the manufacturer can supply them, the coast guard does not.

If and when you find the info, go here:

And have one made up. Perfectly legal, but you need to provide the data so they can print it up.

The manufacturer should help you. I have a '73 Smoker Craft that had no tag. Smoker made one and sent it to me.

Thanks , but DNR said they wouldn't even ask , unless I was on Lake Michigan. The manufacturer was bought out by Tracker , and says they cannot help. Tracker won't even acknowledge my inquiry. I think my only recourse is to hope someone that actually owns a SV18 DC , reads this and can send me a photo of the tag?

You don't need a pic of the actual tag. The company listed above just needs the info and will print one up for you. Worst case, go find a similar boat and use that info.

Bigger question is, do you even need a tag? Check your local laws regarding it, a tag is often not legally required.

Thanks guys! Actually , that dealer in Ill. called me back , and gave me the info from the tag. I'll send that to "Garzon" , and have a tag made up.
