someone gave me this boat. Wondering what year it is

The motor appears to be a 91 model.-----I would inspect this hull carefully.-------Could be in bad shape and waterlogged.

The previous owner thinks it is a 1970 nauset. any Idea how I would get a title for it?

I swapped the vin numbers on a boat before but this is a lot older and I don’t think I’m gonna find another boat with a title to swap

Find a transferable registration, 'n call yer boat whatever is on the paperwork ya find,....
'bout any fiberglass boat, within a foot or two of that one, would be close enough for me,....

The PA DMV can answer your questions. Nobody on the net knows the correct answers.

Swapping VIN numbers is usually only done with stolen boats, and thus can open a big can of worms.

Based on the pics, the boat may not be restorable. Whalers of that vintage are problematic unless well cared for. That boat was NOT.

Never the less, to answer your question, the last 2 digits of the VIN on the upper stbd. side of the transom will tell you what you asked.

New to the boat scene but swapped vin #s around on boats before?


Something smells in PA

you get it titled and registered with the paperwork that the seller/gifter provided to you.

without it, you don't own it.

maybe the gifted didn't own it either.

maybe they gave it to you, so they didn't have to pay to have it disposed.

in some states, you can't even take a boat to the junk yard, without a title.

I say..... give it back.

illegal as can be.

illegal as can be.

Doing illegal things are bad enough, and not very smart, but admitting to doing it on a public forum is beyond not smart.
