my uncle had this boat for a couple of years that he took an trade for some work he done and since he hasnt done anything with it he gave it to me and i cleaned it up put an engine on it and new carpet and seats. well came time to get it legal for the water (which i shouldve done before i spent a dime on it) and i cant read the HIN because someone has scratched most of it off. the AR(arkansas) numbers are not on there either. i think it is around a 90s model javelin fish and ski boat. Does anybody know what i can do to get a HIN number or something to get it legal or did i just waste my time and money?
