I purchased this boat awhile back. Had a bill of sale it is to old to have a HIN. Problem is shortly after I purchased home burned down then I had a stroke. Lost some memory, cant remember what year it is. I know this is a 15'6" lone star. I'm guessing from reading it's a rivet boat. Has a rivet every inch on every seam.
Thank you in advance for any help. I have pictures just not sure how to post on here.

Typical tinny. Get it registered in your name, spend a weekend replacing the transom wood, use it for decades

Unfortunately I'm trying to find out a year cause it has no HIN. In missouri its required to have a title. I have no idea where to even begin to try and get it titled.

That boat is at least 10-15 years OLDER than any HIN. It would have had a serial number

should be a tag on the inside of the transom near where it says lonestar. it may be stamped into the gunwale somewhere.

Unfortunately there is no stamp inside the boat with serial code. Just like there is no hull number plate on it as well.
