Let me get this straight, cause I'm going bananas.
The seller is telling you it's a 1996 Doral....HIN 55e19916....18'......no such thing,right?
People on here are saying it's not a 1996 doral and sump 'thns not right.
Now you say you've got a HIN that matches the boat in the pic..EXCEPT now the HIN comes up as a 1988 Doral?....which is NOT the picture your showing..
...and ,so, what's to believe?....your still dealing with this guy...🍿
still over towing I bet.

hope you got the right papers for the van.....just say'in

I went the parking lot and met the owner. First I found the HIN at the right upper corner. it is Hin of ZBD A1147 B888. Later he showed me the licence with the plate No.55e19916 and Hid of Hin of ZBD A1147 B888.

Why are you still considering a boat that you can't tow safely or legally?
Read the towing info in the owners manual.
For example, it states, that with three to five people in the vehicle, you can only tow 3,350#, minus 100# for stow in the floor seats.
Take that number and subtract the weight of the trailer, fuel, batteries, and other gear, and you end up with a number around 1,800#.
Now find a boat that weighs under 1,800#.
This will likely be a 16-18.5' boat.

And then add brakes to your trailer because it likely won't have them.
Remember, you must also Keep your GCVW below 8700#.

At this point, I'd be running from this boat, not walking.

That's the last I'm saying on this as all my previous posts have the same info...you're over your max tow weight. Period.

The boat looks good and is near my home.
I can park my boat in a lake. So I need not pull it back and forth. This is one solultion. Now I like to know how heavy is it.

See all my previous posts.

6.09m(eters) = 19.89ft. Or for all practical purposes a 20ft boat.

This is NOT an 18ft boat. Add this to your list of red flags.

Looking at the hull and dimensions, it appears to be nearly identical to the 1985 Bayliner Capri 1950

It's Transport Canada on the document, so Great White North.

Anyone fans of the Weather Channel program "Heavy Rescue 401"? Takes place in and around Ontario.
