In my thirty plus years of working boating law enforcement I would find lettering like this every couple of years. Even better is the occasional confused individual who buys the letters and puts their complete HIN on in place of the state reg numbers.

Edit: After looking closer this picture appears to be a case of the "flipped negative" as it was called in the film camera days. However I have seen it done and it looks even stranger such as JC 6528 AP

Your reading wrong. It should read AP 8256 CJ. Here it is flipped over.

"i will be parting this boat out by end of week if i have no serious interest in boat. bring 2,000.00 cash don't try to low ball me, or offer me less, i will take 2,000 cash. all i want is my money back."

Means - I paid $2000 when it ran good, engine is busted now, but I still want $2K for a my broken boat :facepalm:
